My mom snaps at everything! Do you think I deserved what she said?
Question Posted Wednesday September 12 2012, 2:19 pm
So it started with me learning how to drive a month or so back. My mom didn't want to have to teach me so even though I said I could get somebody else to teach me for free she paid $550 to a local driving company. I begged her not to because that's a lot of money but she did it anyways. Well it consisted of like 5 lessons being taught to me in a dodge charger but 5 two hour lessons really isn't enough to make somebody who's never driven before a pro and he didn't teach me everything I needed to know for the test.
So then my mom had to teach me the rest in her Mazda Protege 5 which handles everything completely different so it was a lot like starting over. Well now it's like a month later and I'm getting really good at driving. I've practiced the DMV driving test a lot but I'm still not 100% confident.
Today she came home and screamed "I'M SICK OF WAITING FOR YOU TO TAKE IT, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" So I called them and set up the test for Friday.
So I did that and then she asked me if she needed to have proof of insurance and I told her yes. Then she asked me again and I told her yes again and she screamed at me telling me to call the DMV and ask them so I told her I got the answer off of the DMV website to which she freaked out and called me a "self righteous f*cking b*tch". I ignored the comment rather than argue with her and called the driving facility that gave me the lessons originally and told them that I had a few questions about the test and to call me back when they could. She overhead me and said that I should write down the questions. I didn't think it was a big deal and I know exactly what I want to ask them as I'd been thinking about it for a while so I told her "It's okay I'll remember them." then she went on a screaming rant saying threatening to kick me out and calling me a "worthless failure" and saying that I would never get a job because everybody hates teenagers because everybody knows we're all just "f*ck ups" and that we would all become disgusting homeless people and she would laugh and point at me and she couldn't wait for it to happen.
Which is BS because I have 2080 volunteer hours and at least a dozen awards and people always tell me how amazing and compassionate I am.
Then she found out how much the driving license cost and she freaked out and got mad and threatened that if I didn't pass the first time that I would be in a lot of trouble and on top of that she said that she was not going to help pay for my car insurance so I better have some other idea on how to get around.
Which doesn't make sense. Why is she so obsessed with me getting my license if she isn't even going to allow me to drive the only car we have?
She knows I've been looking for a job every single day for months and I've filled out a ton (like 250) applications yet she says all I do is sit around and sleep all day. Which is also untrue. I wake up at 7am everyday to get to applications before other people swarm them yet she still gets pissed off at me and screams at me all the time.
I'm so ready to take off with one of my guy friends and never speak to her again.
I'm sick of her constant threats and insults and she's always screaming at me to give her money that she knows I don't have and saying that she's going to take my paycheck when I get a job so basically I'll be stuck here forever catering to her every whim and giving her all of my money.
I think she was just being really over the top. You don't threaten to kick somebody out for something like that.
Do you think I should prepare a plan to leave and just get out? I can't take this anymore! I'm 18 and I want to start my own life not have to live off of hers.
