There are two separate issues here . 1 You used your mum ' s bank card to buy a game and she got angry at you yes 5 is not a lot of money , but you don ' t mention how you got her card or if you asked her permission to use it to buy the game . If she agreed you could use her card but later changed her mind and got annoyed about it , that would be very wrong and unfair of her , but if you simply just took her card and used it to buy the game without her permission , that ' s not OK , you are in the wrong and she had every right to get angry at you for that , even if 5 is not a lot of money and you think money is not an issue for her because you actually don ' t know her full financial situation , and anyway , no matter how much money someone has , taking their money without permission is still stealing . 2 The alarm clock thing does sound like your mum and her partner are just being unfair to you and taking their frustration about not being able to set up a piece of technology out on you . When situations like this happen you need to just calmly and politely tell them Please stop constantly insulting and criticising me and blaming me for issues that I have absolutely nothing to do with . I did not break your alarm clock and I don ' t appreciate you taking your frustration out on me . I am not going to be your scapegoat for everything that goes wrong in this house . If situations like this continue to happen and you are unhappy and feel constantly attacked and put down , speak to your dad about the situation and ask whether he can look at having your custody arrangement changed so that you can live with him fulltime or at least spend more time with him . You are 13 and not a small child anymore , you are old enough that your opinion and preference will be seriously taken into account by a family court judge in deciding which parent you want to live with .
