I am 17, and I will turn 18 next November 30. But I am incredibly nervous because I have a terrible relationship with my single mother. If I make the slightest mistake, (misplacing a magazine in the house, not picking up the tiny piece of cilantro on the green lettuce-print table cloth because it blended in, etc.) she goes INSANE and screams, gets violent and says she can't wait until the day I turn 18 so I can get the hell out. I have driven myself CRAZY - obsessively scanning every nook and cranny in the rug, on the tablecloth, counters, to make sure I leave everything PERFECT. I spend 5 minutes after I leave ANY room at all turning on ALL the lights so I can look at the counters from every angle possible so I don't miss anything, and yet I always seem to miss something! My mom still thinks I "don't give a sh!t"! I can't stand living in all this pressure and I want to be ready to move out on my next birthday. how do I survive on my own w/o joining the army or being really poor?
