I'm 18, and yeah, I've been seeing a therapist since I was 12. The man who was over my SSI case said that they determined I was eligable for the SSI check, but that I wasn't mentally stable enough to handle my own checks so someone would have to be over it. Of course, my mom raised her hand and said she was the only sane one in the house when it came to money, so she'd be over it and give it to me as needed.

I pay for the gas and insurance on my car, yet she tells me where I can and can not go. If I say something that she believes to be rude, she doesn't let me drive. If I wanna leave a couple of days to get away from all the stress, she says if I want to keep getting my check I'll do what she says.
