My mother's creepy boyfriend demands that I pay him $340 after he repaired my laptop and bought me new glasses,

0:07.8

despite the fact that I never asked him to do either of those things.

0:11.0

Because right now, my mom is not helping me, and this guy is treating me like garbage,

0:15.2

demanding that I not buy anything else until he gets paid.

0:18.3

And at this point, I seriously don't know what to do.

0:20.5

Here's what happened. I'm a 21-year-old female, and due to personal circumstances, I moved

0:25.1

in with my mother and her boyfriend for a few months leading up to Christmas. My mom has wanted

0:29.9

me to move in for years, which I refused after being in care for a short period of time.

0:34.6

Now, around the same time, my mom sat on my glasses and snapped the hinge

0:38.8

and the arm off of them. After a few attempts to fix them, it was clear that they were irreparable.

0:43.9

I used my glasses for reading my TV screen, as the small writing can be blurry, but my vision

0:48.6

otherwise is 100% fine. Now, I also have an Aces Vivo book laptop, which costs about $300, and it was broken.

0:56.7

Well, my mother's boyfriend surprises me one morning, with not only new glasses, but also my

1:01.7

laptop completely fixed. Now, he took it out of a communal drawer without telling me, which

1:06.1

made me uncomfortable, and the computer had been completely wiped, which he went ahead with

1:10.6

without even

1:11.1

asking me. He then paid for it to be upgraded with lots of extra storage. Time goes by, and my mom

1:16.7

tells me that he wants the money back for the laptop and storage upgrades. And I tried to explain

1:21.5

that it felt really weird, and she agreed, but said this was something that he often did,

1:25.9

and that if I wanted to keep the piece,

1:27.8

then I simply had to pay him back. He also refused to tell me how much it cost to fix it. I was supposed to just give him money, and he would tell me when it was paid back. Now, I'm a people pleaser by nature, and I didn't want to rock the boat, so I agreed to pay and I gave him $120. I then asked again for the price, and I was told that he had the receipt and he would show me.

1:48.0

Well, boat, so I agreed to pay and I gave him $120. I then asked again for the price, and I was told
