My Mum Has Damage A Number Of My My Most Valuable Paintings 2 Days Before I Was Taking Them To A Market To Sell
I am genuinely still mid meltdown lol. But I am an artist and I have a small market the day after tomorrow and when gathering my works I've just found that my mum has jammed ALL my work into a small crevice. Because of how tightly she's don't this, a lot of paint has been scraped off my work.
They aren't all viable paintings as in my rookie haste a few years ago I varnished them with modpoge, but these are works that means a lot to me.
Some of the paintings I consider to be my best work ever and that I have won prizes for are now just completely unsellable. And literally every painting that has ever earned me any recognition is all scraped up.
I could theoretically fix them but some of them I finished over a year ago and worked in a long series of glazes and optical mixing so it would just take forever. Though, I did manage to fix one but as it is an oil painting it won't be try for the weekend.
I'm so upset that she's treated my work so poorly leading to this.
Previously I have never paint just be scraped off the canvas and I am not someone who I particularly careful with their work beyond not doing anything that's literally just gonna ruin them.
I am so upset but I guess this is just how life goes.

Mom That Kicked Me Out And Filed Police Report On Me Found My Email Address
I'm so triggered right now. Im not sure how many people remember me, but I've been posting off and on here for almost 6 years now. My mom kicked me out over 2 years ago. I'm a sophomore in college now. Just last year she filed a police report on me trying to get me arrested because my old identity (I changed my name) got leaked and someone started trying to open bank accounts in my name which mail got sent to her address. She then filed a police report against me saying I was commiting fraud???? And it got dropped that same day. Now months later she sends me this. What's so funny is I'm a trans man who's had a hysterectomy and I'm about to get bottom surgery here soon so the fact she's projecting me being pregnant (because I'm now the age she got pregnant with me) is pitiful.
