Is it normal to feel like she doesn't want me to win?
I don't even know where to start *deep breath* Disclaimer: read from bottom to top. I promise it all ties in together.
I expressed interest in the entertainment industry and I made it really close to getting on some really fun shows on huge networks.. My mom always thought it was a scam and never was excited for me when I would get callbacks. I actually stopped mentioning anything about it to her because she was always real monotone. I would be so excited to get those phone calls from LA& NYC and she always brought me down. I made it a point NOT to tell her unless it was about me flying out or something. She was always moaning about I need a job but the funny thing is... 3 months after graduation I had one.( I graduated in 2012) I made more than her. My check was bigger than hers and she's been working for years. The first week of the new job she called me and went off. I was being yelled at and she said this" You need to contribute something to the house you have been graduated for 3 months you need to contribute !" Blah blah blah. Keep in mind that as soon as I got the job I planned to give her money. I then got a phone call from her soon after the initial one where she went off. This call was an apology or whatever and I explained that I already planned to give her some money. (Note that she is manic depressive but doesn't know it)
Okay back to the hollywood thing... I really have been making alot of progress in the entertainment industry. My mom STILL isn't happy about it. I apply at regular jobs(per her request) like Fred Meyer,Target,Walmart and she STILL is complaining. Then ask's me if I applied at so and so and I tell her I already did. I never got hired and she acts like I can magically make these people hire me. I can't do that. I'm also not going to keep applying at places that have no intention of hiring me.
Meanwhile, I book a commercial and something came up so I didn't get to shoot. At least not on that day.... I got paid anyway and I told my mom I was still getting paid despite everything. Was she encouraging? NO. I told her that I would give her x amount when the check got here. When I told her that she disregarded what I said and acted like it was not going to happen. When she realized the money was actually on it's way from California to where I live... She was all for it! Asking me if I would still give her the amount and things like that. It pisses me off because she is not supportive yet wanted to benefit from my hard work. Alot goes into a commercial beyond actually filming it.
Also, she never even attempted to get me in drivers ed. While I have been behind the wheel and things it still sucks to not have yoir license at 20. I get that it's like 500 bucks but she could have set aside 50,60 bucks every four months and it would have been taken care of. I know how much she made and how much rent was at the time. It's like she wants to keep me on lockdown and makes it so I can only depend on her.
I feel like she is miserable and wants to me to be miserable with her. She even said that I needed to pay her 400 a month in rent. Since her student loans caught up with her and they ended up taking 300$ out of her paycheck every month. Those aren't my loans so why do I need to cover that loss. ????
I'm joining the military and as soon as I said to her what branch it was that I picked.... Her response was "well isn't the air force better?" I cannot, FOR THE LIFE OF ME GET WHY SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ME DO GOOD. IT'S NEVER GOOD ENOUGH..
Is this normal?. Any of it? let me know y'all.
