My mom is threatening me, saying that if I don't get a job over the summer, she will make my doctor take me to the hospital. Is this a sole reason for being forced into the hospital? I am not suicidal nor do I want to harm anyone. I am just not too motivated right now to get a job over the summer because I just started taking new medicine. Let me know, thank you.

How old are you? If you are an adult she can kick you out but not send you to the hospital

How old are you? Investigate the age one can make their own health decisions in your state. I think it is 16 here. If you are older than that she has the right to demand rent or make you move out. Her house does in fact mean her rules. My suggestion is to take her with you to the doctor.

There is a huge amount of people who are in dire need of a hospital bed and unless your a harm to yourself or others its beyond doubtful that your mother could have you in a hospital..

I suppose if shes rich enough to afford one of the fancy resort type places ,, maybe so . Still I doubt this will happen. Your age can come into play of course.

Is there a reason your not wanting to get a summer job? I see that General anxiety is on your profile .. Is that something that might hold you back from seeking a job?

My daughter refused to get a job summer before college.

Overall she was a pain that summer, all she did was talked about packing for college, she didn't even do much outside of the house, she isn't a party type, she just sat around talking about college all summer.

She worked all through college and got professional job right after undergrad and now is finishing her master all while working full time in her career of choice, she also had a job while in high school. So we aren't talking about lazy person here. But that summer was a nightmare.

I then read somewhere when kids are about to transition to adulthood they subconsciously behave like a pain in a butt to make separation easier for them and their parents. By August I was almost relieved she was about to finally leave ( well not really but it was moving that direction), I wouldn't suggest hospital but I was about to ask if college could take her earlier lol)

Are you out of high school? Planning to start something new in the fall? Nervous about adulthood? Any of that might play a role.
