Definitely all good advice. Thank you, everyone.

My Mom's has been somewhat moody since we had our "talk" the other day. I'm still angry and disappointed with her, but do feel a lot better to have gotten it all off of my chest. Her on the otherhand, I'm not sure if any of what I said has really sunk in, or if she even cares, which brings me to today.

All of a sudden tonight, she say's she's going to keep driving her vehicle until it breaks down, which will probably happen sooner than later, and that she's tired of driving, and will just be without a vehicle. She mentioned getting a bus pass, but I'm getting a sense that this could be one of the many next steps of her trying to control me, especially since I told her the other day I'm not staying forever, and that I have to get out on my own. Sure she may get a bus pass, but it almost feels like, "you need to stay with me, because who's going to drive me around?" Maybe I'm just reading into it too much, which I to tend to do; over-anazlying, as I'm sure so many of you have been able to tell throughout the course of this thread. But I'm finding myself questioning a lot of what she says or does since this all came to light for me, and whether or not it's manipulation to keep me on a tight leash.

And the question that I haven't been able to get answered is, does she know that she's doing do this to me, or is it buried so deeply in her sub-conscience she doesn't even realize? Or perhaps it's a bit of both? I know it doesn't change the situation, but I'm curious for my own sake. Obviously the "girlfriend/sex" thing is a conscience decision, but a lot of everything else, the little things is what I question; does she even realize what she's doing?
