I’m an adult (23) female living at home. I’ve never had my own car, I live more than 10 miles from any kind of transport in a rural area and I can’t find a job anywhere so I’m just stuck at home. My mother is very verbally abusive, emotionally abusive but not physical. They never planned ahead for me to have a vehicle so on and so forth. So what do I do? Her sister offered to step in and help and as soon as she figured out what was going on she called and threatened to have her evicted somehow?? then she left home walking on a road from my house that is just 8 miles of nothing, we called the police because she said she was going to just “Jump in front of a train.” So the police pick her up, they have to do a “psychological evaluation” and she lies her was out of it and makes us look like the bad guys and blamed me for it even though it was my father that called. She had cancer a very long time ago and blames it on “Chemo brain” when she gets like that even though she acted that way long before that was even the issue. The rest of my family knows how she is and has heard her be the way she is. I just don’t know what to do. I have no kind of way to get out, no access to public transportation. I’m trapped and she openly talks about me and how I’m “unable to live on my own and a broken mess” even though her side of the family, including her mother and siblings know it’s her with the serious mental issues they can’t do anything to help. So is the need for control so great that this is what it’s come to? What do I do?
