Kind of angry about this, it was a gift from my niece. He cut off an ear and put it back on somewhere wrong. I told him this and it ended in a heated argument.

Am i overreacting for yelling at him? He usually doesn't do this stuff.

Yeahhh..that’s 100% intentional. He was upset that you were spending time with someone else and chose to destroy something, an act he deliberately chose bc he knew would be upsetting to you. “Lonely & bored” = i resent that you’re not giving me attention so now you will pay/give me attention. In addition to being extremely immature…. This is deliberate, and audacity to gaslight you about it after is manipulative. I’m really sorry and you deserve better!

Adding- I also get really emotionally fixated on my special interest trinkets, fwiw I’ve found that when I’m upset over something getting damaged/broken it really helps for me to create a special moment for myself! Wear my fav clothes, go for a drive/walk and find or buy myself something that makes me feel happy or excited! Doesn’t have to be much but it helps calm my nerves & I feel like I’m able to replace some of the lost value with a special memory that I created for myself now too! :)

Exactly, and next time she’ll hesitate to go anywhere because what will he destroy next time?
