u/Laughing_Jackal added: "For context, he sent me some birthday money a couple of days late (I don't care about that at all, I only mention this as it's why I wasn't just checking my Venmo randomly) and he decided this was an appropriate response to me not immediately thanking him. Apparently he has no concept of turning notifications off for all apps besides texts and phone calls."

“It has been a year since grandma’s death. These texts are still upsetting me.” Posted by u/timetravelingisntfun
OP added this for context: “Rebecca adopted me because Grandma wanted to adopt but the court denied her because of her age. Grandma took guardianship instead and I lived with her and was raised my her. At 18, I left for the air force. I was later medically discharged after being diagnosed with PTSD. I relocated to a different state to be far away from Rebecca. When I found out that grandma was dying, I moved across the country to be with her. I visited her every day that I was off work. When she finally died, no one told me. I found out by a nurse at the nursing home when I came to visit. These texts were a few days later. I hadn’t spoken to Rebecca, or anyone at that time, just my boss to take time off. I chose to take on my grief quietly. I woke up to her text that morning.”

“mom pretending to be dad texting” Posted by u/mynmomalt

OP added this for context: "the first screenshot is from my dads number when it's clearly my mom texting. the second is an email from my dads email, which he told me to contact him on instead of text when I moved out since she checks his texts. We lived on their property a year and looked for houses but surprisingly we only had weekends to look (god forbid we work apparently) and got outbid every time! Also the 'every previous bf loved your mom' comment. I've had 2 serious bf's before, 4 total. she used her usual gifting to win favor. And one of them didn't even like her lol. She later sent me a picture of a letter my ex wrote to her, thanking her to include him in her birthday celebrations. To me that's just polite, not loving. Also who knows how long she spent going through things to find it since it was over 5 years ago, unless she's hanging on to letters my boyfriend when I was 17 wrote her?"
