Mum’s MIA: A Night of Worry
Our 17-year-old heroine was left in charge of her autistic sister while Mum went out for a meal with friends. When Mum didn’t return by midnight, our protagonist started to worry and reached out to family members for help. After a sleepless night, Mum finally called around 9 am, explaining she went clubbing and fell asleep at her shop. But instead of being understanding, Mum complained about her daughter involving others and guilt-tripped her for making her feel guilty for having fun. Our protagonist, who also has Tourette’s syndrome, was genuinely concerned for her mum’s safety and her sister’s well-being. So, was she in the wrong for texting others? ♀️ Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
