Hi.. I’m Peh. An almost 23 year old female who recently moved back in with my mom and her wife due to removing myself from an abusive relationship and not being able to afford the rent on my own. 

Over the years, I have met a great amount of online friends who I can call my own family and have enjoyed spending time with them whether it’s through discord calls, games, or specifically VRChat. I have developed even more friendships through creating my own TikTok, making content for people to enjoy and hopefully bring out a smile in their day.

While my biological mom is super supportive of this and is okay with me having my belongings that allow me to be able to continue creating content, which may I add that were paid with my OWN money, my step mom is not. She is against it for whatever reason and fails to understand the enjoyment it brings in my life since she was raised in a very different lifestyle. She continues to tell my mom that I cannot have my things (VR headset, PC, FBT, Nintendo Switch) back until I move out.

This is extremely unfair to me as she is not only taking away things that I paid for with my own money, but also the fact that she is taking away my ability to spend time with my online friends and preventing me from making anymore videos that comes from my own enjoyment. While I understand she doesn’t really comprehend the idea of having online friendships, it is something that is very important to me as I value the people I’ve been able to meet. As I continue to live with my mom and step mom, I continue to follow their rules, complete chores, and go out of my way to do anything that is asked of me from them without any questions asked.

It would mean the world to me if you were to sign this petition in hopes that it’ll make my step mom realize that she is taking away the opportunities for me to continue creating content and is limiting the options I have towards spending time with my friends.
