I've only been out of the parent's house for a month and a few weeks so far, and I hadn't anticipated how much shit it would cause. A twenty mile move, mind you its a half hour away from my moms, she still finds a way to get into town via ambulance; then expects me to let her stay overnight. This caused more shit with my grandmother, her mother. Who left a voicemail on my phone saying "You're not my grandchild anymore."
My general thought to that was just "Bitch, bye. One less person to visit on the holidays." I didn't leave my mom on the street, I walked her back to the ER waiting room where she would at least be warm and safe until the five-thirty AM bus. Reason being that I couldn't even keep her for one night because I have my mate living with me and we were both uncomfortable with her general presence and her rudeness.
Keep in mind she showed up at nearly eleven at night and completely unannounced.
On top of this after paying bills I have about a hundred and forty dollars to feed two people for a MONTH. It buys groceries for a week then her and I go to this local place that has meals Monday's, Wednesday's, Friday's, and around holidays. Which means my mate and I go hungry on weekends, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Its stressing both of us out but there's no way in hell I'm moving back in with my mom. Sure its financially easier, but I don't think its worth the emotional trauma she puts me through.
Recently the family dog passed away. From cancer. He had a black growth on his leg which my mom thought was an embedded tick and paid it no mind, didn't even take him to the vet to get it checked. Turns out that black growth was cancer and he had it since LAST YEAR. By the time she got the dog help (This month) it was too late. She left him alone while going to an appointment and when she came back he was dead. This is not the first time she has let her emotions rule out reason and definitely not the first time she let an animal DIE in that house because she wouldn't let go of them.
And its still very new to be out on my own, but it made me see how much bullshit my mom really caused once I was finally out for good. I can see a lot of my problems came primarily from her and she tried to blame it on everyone else.
