I agreed to let her stay, but only if she followed strict rules that mirrored the ones she imposed on me as a teenager.
These were the exact conditions I lived under for years as a teenager.
After she stormed out, I don't know where she went. My brother praised me for standing up to her.

After my mom left, things went back to normal at home. She didn't end up staying with me.
My brother and I are on good terms, but my relationship with my mom remains strained.
The consequences of her losing the house were serious, but it was her own doing.
She found somewhere else to stay, and I hope she's doing okay.
It was a tough situation, but I stood my ground.

People had mixed reactions to my actions. Some understood why I did what I did, while others thought I was too harsh.

It's tough to navigate family dynamics, especially in difficult situations like this.
Your conditions were extreme, but it's understandable given your past experiences.
The responses varied, but many highlighted the complexity of family relationships.
