My mom sucks and i'm about ready to leave

4 Comments

My mom is a welfare bum who sits on her ass all day and chain smokes and watches TV. She doesn't answer her phone and is in a terrible mood 30% of the time. The other 70% she's putting on a fake nice front like she's still working in customer service. She can literally flip on a dime. She starts yelling and making dumb false accusations and calling names and insisting on how hard her life is. My dad keeps giving her money and buying her things. She's a 46 year old teenager who never grew up because she's been coddled her whole life. She lost all 5 of her kids because she had multiple mental breakdowns and then started doing crack on and off which lasted about 20 years. I was the lucky child who got to live with my dad. My siblings ended up in foster care or with grandma. Everyone in the family agrees that she's awful, even my grandma and brother who are also chain smoking welfare bums. It would be funny if it weren't so sad. The worst part of it is that she's making no effort to help herself and is completely ok with slipping even deeper into jackassery. I'm almost 18 and ready to leave. She expects me to stay with her and give her $500 a month to make up for the family allowance she she can continue smoking a pack a day and spending outrageous amounts on Santa Lucia takeout.
I have a few options on where to stay but I'm absolutely taking my cats because I don't want her to keep emotionally traumatizing them like she did to us.
Remember kids, always get your mental illnesses treated or you'll end up like my mom.

Move away but don't completely cut her off 5
Stay and try to navigate her bullshit 3

    I was expecting this to be some bratty kid complaining that their parents won't get them an iPhone for their birthday, but yeah she sounds terrible. I'd say move away from her as soon as you can.

    So you were the lucky one who got to live with your dad but you're about to stop living with your mother? I'm confused.

    Anyway, whatever, it sounds like a really good idea to get away from her ASAP and of course, take your cats with you.

    Good luck!

    I think this about more than mental illness. I think it's about addiction as well. She is addicted to crack cocaine, and cigarettes. Is she an alcoholic as well? It sounds like she isn't in recovery, but she probably should be.
