Today, my mom changed her mind about driving me to a job interview because she wants to attend a meeting at a church she told me she'd never go back to, full of people she hates. I can't drive because she refuses to teach me how. There's no public transportation. FML

Today, I told my mom about the severe phobia I've developed towards driving. She was very supportive and even made me an appointment to see a psychologist. His office is two hours away. I have to drive to see my doctor about my fear of driving. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me for taking too long at a job interview, and that it was a waste of her time to drive me to it. I just quit my job, moved away from my boyfriend and the coast to help take care of her in Idaho. FML

Today, I told my mom for the third time that I won’t be able to attend her husband's family Christmas party because it’s on my birthday. She won’t take no for an answer, and I just don’t want to spend my whole birthday in a car for an 8-hour drive there and back. FML

Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML

Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML

Today, my mother broke into my emails and rejected the best job offer I’ve ever had, all because the job is on the other side of the country, and she’s a selfish bitch who doesn't want to be left completely alone, since she has no friends and our relatives don’t speak to her anymore. FML

Today, while driving on the streets for the first time, my mom decided that it would be an appropriate time to yell at me for every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life. This stressed me out so much I began driving against traffic. FML

Go to the church meeting and tell the people what your mom says about them. They'll run her out on a rail and she'll be free to drive you to your interview.

Walk if it's not too ridiculously far to do so. Or see if a friend or another family member can drive you?

Umm... Why would your mom teach you how to drive? Take proper driving lessons like everyone else.

So, how were you planning on getting to work if you got the job?

FML doesn't seem to be letting me like comments or reply to them. For anyone suggesting OP take a cab or pay for lessons, I'd assume she can't afford that... seeming she doesn't have a job and is using the name "brokewithnocar." It's not unreasonable to expect someone to follow through on their promise to drive you to a job interview, even if it would be ideal to not have to rely on your mom.

Sounds like your mom has some unhealthy control issues. Maybe talk to a counselor at school/in town and see if there any available transportation resources to help you get a job so you can have money to take driving lessons, get your license, get a better job, etc.
