I’m 18 years old and basically tired of living at my mother’s home. For all 18 years my mother has made my life hell. She makes me feel and calls me stupid or irresponsible but doesn’t try to help me improve. I have a job and she takes a lot of money from me to live with her (i.e. rent and cell phone bill). I have to pay her $100 for rent and $280 for the cell phone (paying off a big bill). For each day I’m late it’s an additional $5 per day. She is only letting me see my girlfriend 3 times a month because apparently my home life has to be my top priority. I’ve been working my ass off in school so she won’t have to pay for college (I’m fourth in my class) with scholarships. She basically always has me on a leash and always wants to keep her absolute control over my life so I get nothing and she gains everything I do. She plays these mind games where she seems like the responsible adult who is only looking out for my well being and acting like all she does is for my sake when really she can’t make it on her own or with her husband (step-father) and so I’m just an extra wallet for her. She’s like a queen and I’m her servant and if I don’t please her I get more and more taken away from me. I’ve had to do everything on my own from finding my job, having my friends teach me to drive because she doesn’t do anything to help, pay for my own expenses, study for school, everything. I understand that I’m 18 so I should be able to do this stuff on my own but c’mon I’m only human and it’s not like the second your turn 18 everything makes sense. Now my manager has her own place that she’d be willing to take me in. All I’d have to do is pay $50 a week (half of what I pay now at home), I’d have my own room in the attic, a few chores nothing major, no curfew, see my girlfriend whenever, she’d help me with my driving and school life, and she’s only about one or two years older than me. The only down side is that her and her roommate smoke and I do not, if I leave my mother would most likely not let me back (laughs a little), and I won’t see my other family (those on my mothers side, my dad’s side no problem ^-^). So should I stay at home with these conditions or leave to my managers house.
