My parent said that I cannot donate it to people in need because I have no salary, but I am not sure if joint-account ownership works like that (I doubt it does). It just feels like my parent is being controlling like they have been throughout my whole life.
Edit: For context, they said that I have to use the money for university stuff (not sure if that is legally enforceable).
Got it! The thing with the post I want to donate to them is that the post makes me feel awful due to incidents that I would not want to talk about here.
