The dire financial situation of many teachers has also made the news recently and teacher strikes have had some success. Maybe you could get involved as a volunteer in a teacher's union or organization one day down the line (I'm not talking about right now...) . You could network with teachers in other states who have succeeded in getting raises and improvements in working conditions and maybe start a blog.

I'm glad to hear your mother is helping you out on something that really matters, like paying a bill, to the extent that she can. Sometimes when our illnesses act up in can be hard to see people other than in black and white terms whereas the truth is so much more complicated.

You could also ask your mom to limit texts and emails as you do not find them helpful. You can ask her to refrain from sending you messages when you are upset without blaming her. Just try to nudge her in a different direction...
