Tonight I had a talk with my mother that was basically "It's not my job to make meals for this family every day, especially now that I'm working." she got mad and then, passive aggressive with me.

So no one made dinner tonight, but she kept whining about it, so I'm making roast for tomorrow. Also found out that she's been eating the stuff I bought for my lunches at work. Which is especially annoying

because she had to have a fight about me buying it with her food stamps in the first place, insisting that we have four chickens for all of December.

Also there's a squirrel in my roof.

I want to just buy my own food, but then I'd get shamed for doing that too.

On the upside, she might have a job, but I'll believe it when I see it.

It's just annoying, frustrating, and stressful because she expects me to cook for everyone, clean up after them, work full time, pay the bills by myself, use my car, get her car legal, bring in firewood,

start fires/keep them going, and be at her beck and call whenever she needs it, whether it's listening to her spend 10 minutes to say one thing or run something to Shianne in school.

While also stifling any chances of my own independence through shame or mockery, and if I deal with those, an all out argument where I get turned into the bad guy.
