Refusing to pay my grandmother my monthly protection money didn't result in creating an environment so toxic that I had no choice to leave, instead it only slightly increased the interference I was already dealing with in trying to move out honestly. At least when I got my paycheck this week it wasn't already half gone. Now what do I do? I'm still working at the same part-time job making the same wage as I was earning six months ago, what's the next logical step to make?

what do you mean protection money
is your grandmother hardcore

No but she is the archetype of an overbearing Italian matriarch who taught her children to respect her and literally nothing else.

Is protection some euphemism for rent?

I want to believe his grandmother is some Sicilian Don's wife who is so hardcore she extorts her own offspring for the hell of it. Or she's so Alzheimeric she extorts them because she can't remember who they are and thinks it's 1958.

she probably wears her coat without her arms in the sleeves

Listen sonny boy, it's time to pay up. Don Ravioli ain't gonna wait another month for his dough so pay up or you'll be sleeping with the fishes off Hell's Gate.

This made the thread.

She carries in her purse a Beretta pistol that she named after her firstborn son who died in a skirmish with the boys from the rival family over a debt owed to them by a butcher named Paulie, is that what you wanted from me?

If it were rent I would pay it to the landlord and not her and I would be bound to pay it by a legal document and not some doctrine of respect for your elders who robbed you of a future for her own personal gain.

i cant tell if you lifted chunks of this from the sopranos

>butcher named Paulie
Is your grandmother one of the fucking westies?
It is rent. You are renting from her. Do you supply all your own food and pay for all your own utilities?
>robbed you of a future for her own personal gain
What is this bullshit?

I am not renting from her, it isn't her place to rent to me, and she didn't "charge" me "rent" until I finally got a job in an attempt to leave her clutches. I even offered to renegotiate the situation with her and give her more money so that she would lay off me some but she flatly refused and threatened to "evict" me. Your point would be valid if she were a moral actor, but she isn't and it isn't. She is siphoning my youthful energy from me so that she doesn't have to admit to herself that she was a failure as a human being. I'm beyond sick of it and I'm trying to leave. So what do I do? Not paying tribute was step one, now what?

Who owns the place? Cut out the 'moral actor' bullshit.
You can call her bluff, continue to pay her, or leave.

The landlord owns the place not her. I called her bluff and she's "mad" at me. Now what do I do? Sit here with her "mad" at me for another half a year until I have enough for a car and a deposit on a new apartment?

Who is on the lease?
Your options are still call, leave, or pay. Calling may result in you having to leave.

I stated this in the OP. I already called her bluff, I haven't been forced out yet and the chances of it happening are dwindling by the day. Now I want to leave but find myself unable to after years of psychological abuse from the woman you're defending. Can we get this thread back on track, please?

If she is renting from someone and you are staying there, you just told your landlord that you wouldn't be paying rent.

I'm not "staying [here]", I've been here since the age of 13 because she didn't raise her daughter (at all but especially) properly in order to deal with a teenage son. Now if you're going to start grandstanding about how a child should feel indebted to those who took time out of their busy schedule to feed and clothe the little stain the stork shat at them, please spare it.

Move out? Isn't that the obvious answer?

Entitlement: The Post
You can leave, you can pay, or you can call her bluff and hope she doesn't kick you out. Your next step is getting out.

What are you, a boomer with "ungrateful" children who ask you for money constantly because they can't afford to feed themselves through no fault of your own? She had other children you know, one of them died of a drug overdose. He turned to drugs because he liked them and not because his own mother treated him like his existence was a burden, isn't that right?

Yes, put on my jacket and walk right out the door. How hard could it be?

No kids. Neither of you owe each other anything. Move out post haste.
Are you just here to vent about Don Bengay and her merciless thugs?

I was hoping that Good Boy Tony would chime in on how he managed to avoid the urge to project the manhood that was beaten out of him by joining cosa nostra and instead pulled himself by the bootstraps and got a job as a car salesman despite his mother preemptively not believing in his ability to drive a car and all the other boys unwilling to teach him out of respect for the old broad.

You know this thread is monitored by the FBI right?

I want his grandmother to have named the beretta Sal after the real Sal went over with his crew to rough Paulie up a little. Vinnie from the 59th St families showed up with his crew and they all started a food fight at Paulie's. Sal took a priscuitto to the face and died in transit to the hospital. His crew later beat Paulie, Vinnie, and Vinnie's crewto death with various salami related meats in a series of executions the papers called, 'The Coldcut Massacre'.
