I just got back from a month-long family road trip, and it made our relationship 10x worse than it was before we left, which is silly bc it was fine before.

The trip went through like 12 iterations and was planned entirely using Claude AI which should have been the first sign. It was sooo hot, I didn't enjoy any of the activities, and I had to sleep with my sister who had a stomach bug. The worst part was that there was no right way to act. If I complained, I got called annoying or ungrateful and yelled at in public in front of everyone. If I stayed quiet so I wouldn't make things worse, I got told I was moping and I need to speak up and act my age.

Now that we're home things are even more tense. They threatened to punish me by taking things away or not letting me hang out w my friends or go to concerts which is silly bc i'm going to my first concert ever this summer (shocking for my age) and i even paid for the tickets myself (they were not cheap), and they make it seem like i ask for sm when this is the first summer ive asked for anything. Then my mom came out and told me that she has been crying because I've been being so hurtful. Overall I just feel so guilty and angry and betrayed and uncomfortable with my parents I don't even want to look at them. Has anyone else been through something similar or did I just bring this on myself? (╥ᴗ╥) i'd really appreciate any advice thank uuu 💛
