dad: "No, you can't do that"
sister: "mom's her own person, she can do what she wants"

youd think this was exaggerated, wouldnt you, like this is too ridiculous and unreasonable and must be a caricature, no actual person is like this. you'd think!

I'm really surprised that most of the comments seem to be focusing on the weed part. The weed part wasn't the issue, it was his authority being challenged, the "she's her own person" comment. I'm *super* confused that this wasn't obvious!

weed has been demonized for a very long time. would that have happened if tobacco or alcohol was the word used?

no, the bad thing wasn't the suggestion about weed, it was my sister saying that my mom was her own person. Undermined his authority!

many people are trapped in patterns of abusive behavior like this. only a small minority would assume this was exaggerated.

Just get thc tincture. Few drops under the tongue seems less abrasive than punching a few massive cones

Look up "coercive control", sounds like the dad would be defined as doing that.

Screaming is a common mode of communication between my parents. That's why I'm 100% normal today 😵💫
