Right. I have put up with a family member feeding me onion and garlic repeatedly despite being told I can’t eat it... 1/

I’ve put up with their changing rules about when I can and can’t use which kettle (they have three). 2/

I’ve put up with them telling me I can’t say a brachot over Shabbat candles because she’s not religious. 3/

I’ve put up with them dead-naming me and introducing me to other ppl by that name despite having told them it triggers childhood trauma. 4/

(But they’d be really sad if they couldn’t use my childhood name...)

I’ve put up with the rules about towels (“must use only the one towel, no not that, where’s your towel? Oh that towel? It’s not a towel we use, it’s too old. That new towel? Oh save it for occasions. The one you were using? It’s in the wash. Pick any, I really don’t mind...”) 5/

I’ve put up I’ve put up with their rules about cooking (there are many). I’ve put up with them taunting me over food I can’t have (“do want cake/chocolate/wine”) every single day. 6/

If I told them I’m eating instant miso soup for lunch so I can save the leftover salad for dinner they scowl. If I leave the house to avoid a fight over salad they literally chased me down to a corner of the property with a container of the leftover salad. 7/

I’ve put up with them telling me how my relationship with my child is going to be crap when he’s a teenager while my child is sitting right there (I did say “uuuuhhhh no, we talk things thru. We’re gonna be fine”.) 8/

I guess I’ve put up with it for so long because having my kid able to play outside and able to run around on their huge property seemed like a dream. We came here before social distancing rules went into place and I thought I could just sit tight and stay out of her way. 9/

So I was putting up with it. 10/

And yesterday they had to *personally go to a cop station to hand cops a thank you note for being cops* on the way back from the supermarket. 11/

They didn’t ask me about how I felt about coming along for the ride until we were already on the way out of town from the supermarket, without another form of transport.) 12/

The next step is to see if I can argue a ride out of here
