Annoyed

I'm pretty upset with my mother.

Apparently, the proper response to being left behind at a closing shop, when you have a cousin who is willing to take you home with her, and no guarentee that you're going to be remembered any time soon, is to stay put, and not go home with your cousin.

We chose, instead of staying somewhere where we didn't know if we'd be safe for anywhere from another ten minutes to another hour, to go home with our cousin.

Considering there is precedent for her leaving me, at least, behind, once at home and once at a bus stop for an hour and a half, and she was already really upset, it seemed a logical choice.

This makes us, but me in particular "A f-ing little bitch", and if I want to stay under this roof, I'll never do something so stupid again.

In addition, we've both been banished to our rooms until we "f-ing rot!", which means I'm in for a hungry night. I've eaten half a piece of toast, three apples, 16 goldfish, and half a sandwich all day.

All this has upset me enough, but on top of that is the fact that my mother has done pretty much everything she can to stop me from moving out, from taking my money to guilt-tripping me about my sister. She owes me about $2000, which is enough to get an apartment around here. If I drop out of school and work full time, I'll be able to support myself easily. If I keep one class, and file my own FAFSA, which my mother hasn't gotten around to completing, I can get at least two, more likely three, grants ranging from $1000-$5500.

Yes I can't drive, and yes I don't have a car, but that's what public transportation is for.

Somebody please tell me I'm not alone in thinking that what my sister and I chose to do this afternoon was perfectly reasonable under the circumstances.
