How do I get out of this situation? ?

Question

I'm 17, turning 18 in early October..Anyways I have no family, They ALL disowned me( minus my mother) , I live with my mom, and I have a younger sibling..I basically live here in my room, I don't like coming out, my mother just yelled at me because I never do anything with her and the little sh** I'm tired, and I have artwork to do, Plus I practice throwing my knives into boxes and stuff in here, I have my own life...How do I get her to respect that?

Answer 1

I know that you want her off of your back, but later in life you will regret not spending more time with your mother and siblings.  They love you, and just want to be close to you.  Why not try and share your art work with them?  That is a way for you to connect with them and a way for you to get out of your room.  It is not healthy to stay cooped up in your room all the time.  I know this because I use to do the same thing and it only made life and things in general worse.  You are so gifted and such a great person, but staying in your room is not going to make life better for you.  I know you care about having a good time, but you cant have that good of a time in your room.  If you really hate your mother and sibling, then there really isn't anything you can do, because there love for you is never going to stop.  The only way to get them off of your back is to get a job and save money for you to move out when you are 18.  There will come a day though in the future when you look back and wish that you had spent more time with them. I wouldn't really think that practicing throwing knifes into a box is much of a life, but more of a hobby. Just talk to her about you needing space, and that you have your own plans and they don't involve your mother.  Just be nice when you talk to her though, she only wants whats best for you.

Answer 2

I understand you. You have to tell your mother to accept the fact that your becoming a mature adult. I'm younger than you but I would be able to know that. Also if I was a mother, I would also love my child to hang out with me. One thing just spend one time with her and say "I am mature enough to be hanging around by myself. I love you and you know that but you have to accept the fact i'm a mature adult!"

Answer 3

I don't understand what is so wrong about giving them a try?I know you are young, and at the time you need your space, but family is very important try her once and then you can let her know that you need your space
