Why do I feel like this is the 19 year old referring to herself in 3rd person? I don’t think a parent would make this type of post, especially asking whether you would be mad or not. You may have mental issues but you are very aware of what you did wrong. You feel guilty that’s why you’re asking this. Probably should’ve saved your money like your mom told you too. I know she doesn’t know you cashed the check, but still she will find out eventually. Even with your tax return because what if your share for the trip cost more than what you get for tax return, then what. You lie so much to them and your parents are so gullible and naive, it seems.
