But she didn't try to kick me out of the house or take away my cell phone and so forth. And cutting your health care? How is that worrying for your health? To be honest with you, don't talk to your mom, talk to your dad. She's obviously very emotional and being irrational (not a bad thing, just a side effect of super emotional behavior) and convincing her is an impossible task. Just talk to your father and ignore her. And why is she mad that you didn't tell her about the snakes? If she ever brings it up tell her that she wouldn't support you anyways and that you are afraid of telling her anything. Show proof that you did not spend "her" money on your reptiles. Receipts and everything. After her anger dies out the facts will be the only thing standing and she won't have much to say
Agreed. I don't think she really intends to cut me off like that and I think my dad will be able to convince her otherwise since after all, he is the one making the money, not her.


I wish I could show her with receipts that I didn't use her money, but I don't keep all my receipts and the bank account received direct deposits from my parents and my job. The money they gave me was always budgeted and it always went to bills/school. I never had any leftover to spend on animals. It just wasn't possible.
