Am I overreacting to the messages my mom (43 F) sent me (18 F) over a septum piercing?
So, just like the title entails my mom had a complete meltdown over my piercing. For a bit of context I got my septum pierced a little over a week ago, I paid for it with my own money and I showed my dad right after I had gotten it done. My mom has always been very controlling and narcissistic so I’d knew she’d have a cow when she found out and boy was I right…
I had FaceTimed her yesterday after I had gotten out of the pool, forgetting all about my piercing for the time being. I just wanted to talk to her and tell her about the pool at my campus since I told her we were going. I was drying off when all of a sudden she spotted it and she asked what it was and I tried to play it off but once I adjusted it in the mirror she saw it more clearly. She asked me how I was going to get a job and I told her this wasn’t the 1900’s anymore. Mind you, it’s very small and you can barely see it. So after we got off the phone she sent me a barrage of messages.
The first two are the ones she sent me after we got off the phone and I didn’t respond. But I was telling my dad about the situation and she must have logged into his phone and looked at his messages, thus resulting in the third screenshot. The final one was my response to her, some of the things she said to me should NEVER be said to your own child. But I need outside opinions, am I overreacting for wanting to cut her off right after I move out?
