I agree with the above poster. You seem to be seeking out reasons in order to not claim any personal responsibility over your life, also you go off on random tangents that more often than not contradict your previous postings and have nothing to do with the feedback you are being given. Your problem with your Mum wanting to control your finances has nothing to do with you "forgetting" to report your income while you were overseas, that is on you, not your Mum. I find it hard to believe your side of events when what you say happened with your payments keeps on changing from post to post and thread. I think it is little wonder why your Mum may have concerns as to how you are managing your finances and life when you are showing this little concern towards meeting your obligations and it is unfortunate you are seeing it as her being controlling. Maybe put some real energy into truthfully organizing your financial obligations while you live under her roof and she might start to back off. If not, move out and see how well you fare.
