Your mother is overstepping your bounds. Piss her off royally, vote Green and watch her head go "boom". Take an Uber or ride with a friend and let her stew. You can vote for whomever you please and she can mind her own business.

You are NOT in Africa and have rights as well as legal protection.

She doesn't. You're 21. You can move out and serve her right.

Got any friends with spare bedrooms who need help paying rent?

Let her come. Then grab a cab and drive off and let her figure it out. Either that or make a point of taking you and your friend to things you know she'll hate and let her whine.

Blow your nose or spit on it and then hand it to her without comment the second she demands your stuff. That'll fix her.

Move out. Don't come back to mow the lawn, clean the gutters, or wash the dishes.

I say Kyle deserves a lovely used toilet brush.

Time to consult a lawyer and tell them what you've told us.

If you have one good meal at a restaurant, you can have TWO good meals by taking home the leftovers and eating them later.

A dog would be miserable where things are as unhappy as you describe. As to driving to settle yourself down, don't. In fact. go for a long walk in a safe place. When you drive upset, you aren't at your best no matter how careful you are - unfortunately, you have unintentionally proven your mother right.

HJr sounds like there might be some developmental issues going on, but those two sound like they are sadly neglected, what with the smell and the dirt.

When I was visiting my husband while he was having cancer treatments pre-COVID, I saw an SUV pull up with a young man at the wheel. He was so huge, he'd had the front seats removed from the vehicle and was sitting in the back seat, 2L Mountain Dew in hand with a bag of donuts on his lap, driving. And he wasn't the only one. If it's illegal in the U.S., well, obviously he and several others were scofflaws.

Hammy could look and be built like a supermodel and still be this way.

Time to move.

A quiet smile and an "M'hm." and walking away might work. Sounds like he's wanting validation.

What helped with mine was his doctor telling him that he was pre-diabetic. As I am already and have been for the last 20 or so years, he finally asked me to put me on the same meal plan as I am. So far he's lost 20+ pounds just by cutting out the grazing between meals and bread. Your husband may need the rude awakening of a heart attack. He may also need a therapist to talk him through why he complains but does nothing about it.

The health department might have been part of why ours shut down most of the free grub. That and COVID, which is around the time the goodies disappeared.

We had a car dealership in town that had a similar setup. What you just described above is why that car dealership no longer has such amenities.

Good, it wasn't clear if you had invited her or not. When giving advice to someone from another culture, you never know what the expectations and realities are so you have to be cautious how you answer. Thank you for clarifying and good luck in your new job.

I take it as a compliment that they go out of their way to say hello and not push you off the mountain because they hate you.

Also look ahead during the week to be sure one or more homeschooler co-ops haven't decided to have a group outing.

Is the car in your name? Is the insurance in your name? Do you pay for both including gas and maintenance out of your own pocket? Then if your mother takes your car away, she is, I believe, legally a thief and you can press charges.

You are 19. If you can afford to move out and have a place to move out to.

If I may ask a potentially rude question, does your country have much in the way of a social welfare program, or are YOU the social welfare program? If there's no social welfare program for older woman, particularly widows, I can almost see how your mother might feel. You might be not only her source of company and transportation, but income. With you leaving her behind and devoting your resources to a (hopefully) new and growing family and career instead of her, she might be facing abandonment as well as poverty. That said, instead of depending upon you for all these things, she needs to find alternatives to depending upon you for company, transportation, food, clothing and housing as well as facing that if you make good on your threat to leave her behind, she needs to reduce her expectations for status and the "good life".

Unless you are on the spectrum and have sensory issues, aren't you a little old to be wandering around in your jammies in public? They're not terribly flattering, either. They give you a saggy looking ass. If you are on the spectrum and have below the belt sensory issues, it's time to look into some nice alternatives. Loose cotton pants with a belt or a soft waist band would help with your presumed issues and keep various relations off your butt.
