Okay so to start of my boyfriend (18m) is disabled you can check on my page I’ve got a couple posts about it but anyhow, he uses a wheelchair right? It’s a crappy 2nd time being second hand DRIVE hospital wheelchair that’s bulky and falling apart. 4-5 months ago I started a GFM to raise enough money to pay out of pocket for a better one since none of us have that money and waiting for the government to possibly approve a fully funded one would take months or years. When this GFM started I spoke with their mother about it to let her know and give the option to shut it down if she really didn’t like it. She said nothing and I left it be.
Fast forward a few months and we are almost at the goal and can get him a new wheelchair which is super exciting. I, like a normal person let the mother know in a very excited and nice way that we can get them a nice one soon. She freaked the fuck out. She left me on read and went to my BF and make a huge ass paragraph about how we hate her and don’t trust her and how she hates how we did this and all this bullshit. How are we supposed to know that you hate it IF YOU NEVER TOLD US!? A direct line from her text is “And then because of the hiding I have bigger feelings because I am so hurt by you not being able to trust me with your real problems and I will never be dead inside enough to be trusted with the important stuff”.
Edit: just to clarify my bf has been contacting her about this too I’m just talking about what I’ve been doing to contact her and he was also in on the GFM
AITA for raising money for my BF wheelchair??
