Is my mom's behavior normal?

I asked my mom for some money today since eventhough I have a job, it's hard to afford life as a student. I asked for only 3 € (about 4 US $/ British £2,50) and she said "Pfft. No." And then gleefully smiled at me. I've also asked her for money for new winter shoes and a hairdresser before (any amount would have helped and I know for a fact that she has quite a lot of money since she goes shopping all the time and buys flights and trips all the time) and she just replied "No, why should I? That's not my problem." And then smiled again. Anyway, so today after she replied no and smiled I called her an a**hole and she replied something really vulgar like "go rub yourself one" or something.
I then wanted to smash her head in because she is so rude, disrespectful and gross but I had to find a way to make the money I need and don't want to end up with police charges.
Is her behavior normal? And is there anything I can do to make her suffer back I don't have to pay for later?

    when i had no money, or just enough, i used to cut my own hair and buy shoes at thrift stores/flea markets. there are options and you probably need to learn how to better manage your money

      I still find it abusive how she will manipulate me to entertain her and suit her needs. My parents buy TWO expensive new appartments in large cities (even though they're already renting 2 and are making money letting one of them) while they won't pay me ANYTHING eventhough by law they are supposed to pay child support so I can successfully go to university.

    Either this is her selfish personality or she has some grudge with you where she felt you were ungrateful and she is teaching you a lesson. My parents have money and I have been out of a job before and they were very tight with their money. I don't get it either, but I can say that people who are well off are USUALLY very tight with their money. The truth is that you make more money by saving money than by making money (because of the expenses incurred when you make money, like taxes, equipment, employees, etc). So letting the kids make their own money is an extension of this.

    Is there someone else that you could ask? Some other person who looks out for your well being. I don't recall you saying what your age was but if you are of legal age then, It could be that your vulgar mother doesn't feel that it's her duty to take care of you anymore. If not, and if you have the extra time to do so, you might want to look for a second job.

    She sounds spiteful, but the hairdresser isn't a necessity. As for the shoes, that really sucks. I just get my stuff from the thrift store though, I got some Brahma boots once for only 5 bucks. Also, asking someone for 250 or 400 dollars is sort of a lot.

    Tell her to be a mother, and not a 13itch.
