AITJ For Not Doing My Mom's Paper For Her?
2 years ago
If she can't do the work without cheating, she doesn't deserve the degree. And she's a huge jerk for emotionally manipulating you into cheating with her.
Cut her off and warn her she'll get expelled if she keeps this up
AITJ For Not Wanting My Mom To Hug Me?
2 years ago
Absolutely NTA, a thousand times over. If you don't want to be hugged, no one should disrespect your wish, and it doesn't matter if you have ADHD or not. It's YOUR body and sense of comfort.
For context, I'm a single mom of an autistic/ ADHD teen. Even very young, I couldd tell she had (still has, for that matter) sensory issues, especially tactile. I learned early on to put her right to bodily autonomy above my (sometimes impulsive) need/ want to hug or kiss her.
Even today, I will ask her if she's feeling down, if she wants a hug. If no, I back off. If she asks if she can have some "mothering time" (her code for a hug) I'm there in a New York minute.
When I'm feeling down, she'll ask me if I need a hug, and the few times when she hugged me spontaneously without asking, I treasured those moments more than the Hope Diamond.
Your mom needs to learn to put YOUR need for YOUR comfort above her DESIRE to inflict an unwanted act.
Good luck.
