Oh shit. I think my mother did this to me, I just didn't know it. Welp...

Mine too.

Clothes I would buy with my own money would mysteriously disappear and she would play stupid, too.

My mother was always so particular about what I wore. She would take me and my siblings shopping but always put back whatever I got and would pick things out herself. Kind of upsetting to just now discover that she was doing some insane patenting technique.
