Learning how to set expectations and boundaries of how to be treated after having shocking parents...

...which is why, when I landed in a hospital with a major health incident, my first fleeting thought was "Am I pissing everyone off?" followed by "I hope nobody gets upset.". Not what was at the top of my head at that point but the thought was definitely there after years with my "parents" and 16 years living away from them.

The best part? Momzilla turned my hospital into her royal court and received visitors all day, most I barely knew. When u said something after the point that I would have to leave the room to do some treatments because there was literally no room in my hospital room because of this behavior, my mother started screaming at me that I made everyone sad but getting sick and it was my duty to make them feel better.

Momzilla doesn't know this, but while she was in the bathroom the head of security came to my run with two armed guards and said my mother would be removed from the hospital if she kept it up as she was upsetting other patients. To this day she still holds it against me that I asked her to stop. I should have just let her get ejected, but I didn't need more problems at this point.
