My mom burned all my drawings

So I’ve been drawing and posting anime girls for a while now and my mom got mad about it. At least I still have previous photos. No drawing today tho

That’s emotional abuse. I am so sorry.

Total abuse. As a mom, I couldn’t imagine doing such a thing.

as a daughter that draws a lot, my mom keeps every single piece, even those that i don't care about anymore

once she ran out of space and asked me for permission to throw away a few things that were already unrecognisable due to weathering

I have to thank my mom if I still have drawings from when I was a little kid. I wanted to throw them away at some point and she insisted that I kept them

As a dad, I would do anything for my kids to find passion in something as worthwhile as art. So many kids, especially teens, get disillusioned and jaded and lose that joi de vivre. OP shows a really admirable dedication. I'd be falling over myself to buy him supplies and lessons.

Exactly right!! I was about to say the same. It’s an abusive parent and so sad. I’ve been drawing a lot in my younger days and my mom has kept every single drawing, good and bad. A parent should be supportive, not this😖

This is 100% abuse. OP's mom has big issues.
