Summarising to stay anon, posting as always feels like this is a bit of a safe space 🌺
mid thirties (yes really) with “own life” albeit no children yet but hopefully in the not too distant future, parent has me on find my friend but stopped sharing their location a while back, regularly checks in on me and uses it against me, I feel like I am trapped and if I spend time with friends instead of see the said parent they are snappy with me. They don’t tell me they look on it but I am sssuming they do, it used to be used as a one off when we would all be meeting up but now I feel scared to delete it because said parent is known for “falling out” with the adult children over things and giving silent treatment.
please tell me to grow up and remove it, I feel suffocated and my anxiety is awful, does anyone know why I am feeling like this and why I feel guilty for having my own friends and interests etc? It got to the point recently where I would put my phone on airplane mode just to hide what I was doing as I felt guilty for not seeing the parent, even though I regularly see them and we do lots of lovely things together
I should just delete the app altogether shouldn’t I? But even then I feel like I need a reason 🌺 thoughts would be so welcomed xx
