She says they have the money. She also said i dont really even need the funds that come through the clinic that pay for my services in full. She claims i have no concept of how much things cost, etc, all this stuff about me.
I explained to her that on one hand my parents pretty much refused to pay. But i told her that at the time my dad put me on disability he had just been mostly cleaned out by my mom through their divorce, just paid for our house in full, was paying thousands in hospital bills etc etc. So at the time HE couldnt pay for it. My mom was really the one that refused to help. Plus she kicked me off her insurance because my stepdad complained to her about a lot of my hospital bills. So the main reason my dad even put me on disability was for the insurance but he knew the money would help me out later on because i was i was also extremely sick at the time and couldnt work worth a darn. Nor goto school.
It just made me feel really really bad about myself. She basically went off on me and mocked me.

Here's the thing, you're an adult, you should be paying for your own care not your parents. Wasn't your dad retired or something and went back to work due to financial reasons? And the last thing you need is to depend on your mom? You're not using the system you're trying to survive like everyone else. Sure you have more money, odds are your pss is jealous.
When I was in college one of my profs told me life is unfair make it unfair to your own advantage, I live by that advice.
