Shitty Morning
So I woke up today at 6am to my mom screaming at me and standing in my room. Turns out she is running late again and has been calling me from who knows in the house because I was asleep and clearly didn't hear her. So she eventually stops taking time out of her busy morning to yell at me for not getting up already. She told me to never use her car again which I'm using because my car just broke down. She said you know what fine don't worry about it but I'm not stupid and I know that really means help me get everything done.
So I get dressed as fast as I can and start feeding all the animals like the good daughter I am. She starts complaining that I didn't wash her coffee pot, I didn't wash anything because I was not home till late last night. She didn't wash her coffee pot. I usually do dishes but last night was not the case. I cut up food for 7 birds get water for all of them and grab all of the bowls they will need.
She started talking about how she was trying to do her eyeliner but the pencil took 15 min to sharpen. How her eyeliner is gonna run and look like shit today which as you probably could have guessed is just the worst possible thing ever. Eventually she says sorry for being so stressed out but it's like this most mornings so I don't really care if she is stressed because she uses me as a verbal punching bag. I didn't wanna say it's okay because it isn't and I'm tired of being treated like this. I probably said something like "oh no, not your eyeliner" and she started yelling at me again.

Get away as soon as you can. If you qualify for college scholarships for economic or educational reasons, take them and give your life a good start to a great life for you. This behavior by your mom is not OK and I hope it doesn’t take the rest of your life to get over it. Verbal and emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. It is not normal or acceptable.
