We got into it Saturday, & she's still mad @ me. I apologized, & she didn't accept my apology, she told me she doesn't give a damn about me, & my 23rd b-day is this Friday, & she said she doesn't care about my b-day. On a daily basis, I can't ask an intelligent question or make a simple statement without her snapping @ me.
As soon as I can lay my hands on $2,000, I'm moving out of state to New York . I had no choice but to live with her because I lost my home as a result of Hurricane Katrina. I'm trying to get back on my feet & get stable again.

I hugged her & told her I love her, & she threatened to have me put out on the streets.

You apologize, she doesn't accept it, what else can you do? Yes, it sounds like she is very bitter. Perhaps she is just stressed over the fact that you are living with her even though you are past the age when she can get money from the state for being a foster-parent. I hate to say it, but I think sometimes foster parents really do care more about the money than the kids. Hopefully it won't take you too long to raise the money to move to where you want to live. Is there anyone who could loan it to you?

There are three sides to every story. YOURS, hers and the TRUTH.
Everyone has problems in their lives, and alot are and have been worse off then you are. There are millions of people who lost their homes in the hurricane. You are not an isolated case.
There are people going hungry, sleeping under bridges etc.
Just be thankful that she gave you a roof over your head, food to eat, and clothes to wear.
I know you have issues and problems but it seems to me that the woman is tired of having to support you. You have stated that you have no job and you do not contribute to the house financially at all.
The hurricane was a year ago, you have no excuse to be still sponging off this woman when she took you in during your time of need.
If has been a year now and you are still not working to help support the household or yourself.
You are a grown woman.......it is not her responsibility to have to support your ***.
She would probably be a lot nicer to you if you got up off your butt and got a job and started helping out some. Instead of expecting her to take care of you.
There is an old saying: You can not help someone who refuses to help themselves...........
I would be tired of supporting you after a year also. You are not her child why would you even think that she owes you anything? She doesn't...........Get a job and support yourself instead of expecting her to do it for you.
You sound like a very ungrateful, lazy, and good for nothing bum.

I am a former foster child. For a lot of years my relationship with my foster mother was very shaky,because I ran away when i was 17 and went back to my parents. It really hurt her,since i had been living there since i was 6. I got the relationship back on solid ground by apologizing and letting her know how much I appreciated her being there to raise me. It takes a lot of hard work and sometimes some space and time to work it out, but it's worth it. Our relationship couldn't be better now.

It's not your fault that she's acting like a dingbat. I hope you find good luck and fortune in New York, perhaps she's just stressed about other things and is transferring them to you because, well let's say she's mad at her boss - she can't yell at her boss, but she can yell at you because you can't fire her and are currently under her power. Don't take it too personally - I'm sure things will settle down again.

it sounds like a pretty bad situation just try to deal with it in your own way, i mean if she doesnt care about you anymore after a big argument its probably not true and maybe she needs a couple of days to get over it. Sometimes when my mom and I argue about something shes usually the one giving me the silent treatment so i just give it right back to her sorta like reverse pyschology it works well in my opinion.

Sounds like she is very troubled about alot of things and is taking it out on the person nearest and dearest to her. People often take things out on the people they love. Do you have any other options for living arrangements? Good luck to you. The effects of Katrina are more far reaching than many realize.....

Sorry for your problems but hey, you are 23. TIme for you to be on your own and if Hurrican Katrina got the better of you, well that is too bad but everyone has problems. I am sure there are two sides to this story (hers, as well). Grow up.

GET SOME MONEY AND LEAVE NOW. Before you leave, you have to tell her how much of a bit$h she is and that you hope she will live a long and awful suffering life well into her 90's with hope's that she $hits all over herself everyday.

You should at least try confronting her about it if it bothers you that much (which is understandable why you would). Maybe bringing it to her attention will break some very frozen ice.
