My Parents see every Little Lie as Betrayal
Is it just my parents who act like i am the scum of the earth when i tell a little white lie? Like yes, i know it's technically wrong and immoral to lie but little white lies. For example I was supposed to take an antibiotic pill this morning because i had a fever before and im sick (coughing, runny nose, headaches and i had a fever), but this morning i forgot and i didnt take the pill. Then my mom comes downstairs and she starts acting all suspicious asking "did you take the antibiotic pill?" and i think ill just lie now so she doesnt scold me because she's very strict, and then ill drink it after im done with my breakfast. So i say "yeah" and she doesnt believe me so she starts asking me stuff like "okay so where is the pill box then hm?" and i go "well i remember it being on the table" which wasnt a lie, but then i look at the table and its not there. So she starts saying that she thinks im lying and i start denying it obviously because i got this far, right? We argue bla bla bla and she ends up finding out that i did not take the pill. Just for context, previously, because i was sick, i stayed home for about 3 days from school because we went to a doctor and he said i should stay home. Both she and my dad were aware i was sleeping for half of the day, every day, because i was sick, they heard me coughing and they saw me take 4 painkillers every day for my horrible migraines. But now just because i didnt drink one antibiotic pill and lied about it she starts going ballistic at me because allegedly "if you lie about this then you were probably lying about being sick in general because a person who is sick always takes their medicine because they want to get better" which is a fair argument but then she started saying that i was USING her to skip school and lie about being sick, that i manipulated her into lying to my school. Mind you we literally went to the doctor about a week ago and he said that im sick and need to stay home. Now she is angry at me because i am "a selfish traitor who used her", and i feel really upset too because i have been really sick and my dad literally took my temperature a couple days ago and saw that it was really high so there is proof that i was sick but she goes "i didnt see it so i cant trust you". Just from lying about taking a pill, all of her trust in me VANISHED into thin air. I cant believe that just from that she will just stop believing me and i say "fine, if you dont believe me then dont but do you actually think that i would manipulate you just to stay home? Do you really think that low of me?" and she says "i think youre a traitor and i think you'd do exactly that". I usually never lie to my parents, so i thought this wouldnt be a big deal to tell this one little lie, but when i brought up that i never lie she said "i cant believe that, because i cant trust you at all. maybe youve been lying to us everyday and i dont know". Somebody tell me who is in the right because theres no way she truly thinks im genuinely evil just because i told one.
PS: I know this is a very whiny story possibly but she is genuinely not talking to me at all because of this and i can hear her in the next room on the phone with my dad telling him how much she hates me and doesnt know what she did to deserve such a disgusting excuse of a child.
