Kc55, I do not give her a dime anymore for clarification--- I don't pay rent. I will not be intimidated into doing that. Don't worry, I have that covered. It is a point of major disagreement with my mom and dad, me paying rent.

Andine, I keep my thoughts to myself. I'm not about to get a lawyer, my therapist was one. She has some ideas I'm sure. Today I got some apologetic, sweet behavior out of mom so she's not angry right now and I apologized to her for losing my temper. Not that I need to apologize for having done nothing wrong. She is overstepping by pretending to be in charge of my money, granted in 2011 I did need some help saving. I'm supposed to have access to my savings. I don't know jack about the courts system. I have no clue how to use it. I am back to playing nice atm, thank you for reminding me. :)

Mom went back from nice to mean today but then she realized that our DVR has a problem other people are having which isn't my fault. I didn't touch the TV last night too. By virtue of me noticing a problem it is my fault. I braced myself for her blaming me. She didn't when pointed out she was doing that. Time to change tactics I suppose. She claimed I was getting angry at her to preemptively get angry. I told her mean personality she's a really mean person. That got her emotional enough to stop. She struck a deal bargain with me. She says that if I'm nice to her she'll be nice to me. If I'm mean to her, she'll respond in kind. Thanks for finally figuring that out mom! Wow. I mean she finally figured that out. Okay, I'll play her game. I'm still playing. She's still dangling the money out in front of me. I've told her not to discuss it with me. It seems like her goal is to upset me. I have successfully not gotten upset with her today. It takes much effort for me.

It is but you've got to love them, they know not what they do.

Thank you Andine, I will have a great holiday even if I'm by myself. I have a friend coming over on the 2nd. I'm going to see my boyfriend over New Years. I have people to be with. Its not like I don't.

Yeah well, I'm going a bit crazy alone. I called South America just tonight to see if I could raise my mom and I got a cell phone # via my cousin. So I talked to my mom who sounds okay. I had a nice talk with her and even got asked to do a business related favor as mom is a broker. She is actually seeing me as a grown-up right now. I have never felt more grown-up than I do right now because I had to drive to my boyfriend's family's house for Christmas Day. To drive in the rain which is something I have problems with by myself. I get anxious. I managed to do that successfully. I feel like a grown-up. I'm going to bed now.
