Not the A-hole, not even a little bit.
You did the right thing by asking for help when you knew you needed it. You don’t have to explain or ask anyone’s permission to save your own life. Mental health crises don’t care about your schedule.
What your stepmom said was mean and completely out of line. Your dad’s refusal to back you up shows he doesn’t get how serious this was. You shouldn’t feel bad about anything. You took care of yourself when the people around you clearly weren’t going to. That’s not selfishness; that’s strength.
You should be in a safe and supportive place. Don’t think about the people who made you feel bad for surviving; instead, think about your recovery and stability.
AITA for admitting myself into a mental hospital w/o asking
