Today, my mom changed her mind about driving me to a job interview because she wants to attend a meeting at a church she told me she'd never go back to, full of people she hates. I can't drive because she refuses to teach me how. There's no public transportation. FML

Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML

Today, I told my mom about the severe phobia I've developed towards driving. She was very supportive and even made me an appointment to see a psychologist. His office is two hours away. I have to drive to see my doctor about my fear of driving. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML

Today, I told my mom for the third time that I won’t be able to attend her husband's family Christmas party because it’s on my birthday. She won’t take no for an answer, and I just don’t want to spend my whole birthday in a car for an 8-hour drive there and back. FML

Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML

Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML

Today, my mother broke into my emails and rejected the best job offer I’ve ever had, all because the job is on the other side of the country, and she’s a selfish bitch who doesn't want to be left completely alone, since she has no friends and our relatives don’t speak to her anymore. FML

Stress test

Today, while driving on the streets for the first time, my mom decided that it would be an appropriate time to yell at me for every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life. This stressed me out so much I began driving against traffic. FML

Go to the church meeting and tell the people what your mom says about them. They'll run her out on a rail and she'll be free to drive you to your interview.

maybe your mother is sick of doing everything for you find someone else to drive you it's not that hard

Or maybe the mother should keep true to her word.

Sorry but I'm getting the impression she is a consistent saboteur because she has control issues?

Yeah, that's pretty controlling and abusive behaviour on her part. Sounds like narcissism really. What kind of ******** parent would sabotage their child's chance at a job interview? I bet after you don't get the job because she just lied to your and said she couldn't take you, she'll then start complaining about how you have no job as it's your fault. My mother was just like that, and I finally managed to move out of her house again, and haven't responded to any of her messages since. My life since then has been pretty drama free and awesome.

Exactly what I thought. She's basically making op rely on her and continue to. Sounds extremely alarming.

how would you get there for work if you got the job? Surely you can't expect your mom to drive you to work every day (although she should help teach you)
