Reply to comment by wordscannotdescribe in TIFU by spending the night at my boyfriend’s by [deleted]

it was around my age, i believe. it’s been on and off her whole life but she’s tried for me as best as she can. we argue sometimes but it’s never been serious and i trust her just as much as she trusts me. she was a young mother from a bad past and got into some unsavory things. she’s trying her best even now and i’m really proud of her but my grandparents feel the need to kinda shove her nose in shit every day, if you get what i mean.

Got it. Your grandparents probably mean well and have good intentions - they don't want you unknowingly going down a similar path as your mom (which would arguably be worse, since they won't be around as long). That's not to say that your grandparents did right here. They still overreacted. Hopefully, you can explicitly show to them that you're going down a good path. That might honestly be things like introducing your boyfriend to your grandparents over a dinner.
