my mom and her boyfriend kiss a bunch, and it makes me uncomfortable, due to flashbacks of a no-so-happy series of months in my past that lead to me having PTSD. i usually just put my headphones on and turn the music up so i don't hear it. but then i get yelled at because i don't hear anything else. my mom got mad at me today for this, and took my phone and headphones. she said that i should just SAY "this makes me uncomfortable" and walk away, but in the past I've done that, and i got yelled at for doing so. she then was saying "well it doesn't make you uncomfortable when you see it in the halls at school". it doesn't, but that's because at my school NOBODY HAS TIME FOR THAT KIND OF THING. we're all rushing to get to class on time. if it DID happen in the halls, i WOULD be uncomfortable, though. i don't pick and choose that kind of thing. it makes me uncomfortable, end of story. but I'm being treated like its simply a prejudice against my mom and her boyfriend, when it isn't. i tried to ask her to explain, but she just kept getting mad at me and yelling. she took away my phone, decided i DONT get to go out and see my friend who lives in another state and is visiting, and sent me to my room. she always does this and i don't understand why i keep getting in trouble when i haven't done ANYTHING wrong. help?
