Nahh, I don't blame him for this. It's his parents, if he can't trust his parents then who can he trust?

Sounds like your mom is solving this problem for you. She took the truck and has now kicked you out of the house. Fine, she has backed you into a corner and you have no other choice than to strike out on your own. Get yourself a place to live and a reasonable means of transportation (a used truck) and move on. If she contacts you be cordial and act like a fricking grown up. I guarantee she will wonder why you just didn't come home, why are you are on your own, etc, etc. Just reply that she really didn't leave you much choice. You leaving is on her now, she's kicked you out of the nest, when she regrets it she has nobody to blame but herself.

Your parents are idiots for putting the truck in their name... Someone can sue the frick out of them if you're in an accident that's your fault...

Apparently some of these people live in a mythical "leave it to beaver world" where crazy parents don't exist. I'd be Pissed if I paid a grand a month and my mom acted like that (FWIW, my mom is the complete opposite, so I am not biased.) I wouldn't pay another dime on that truck, I would be headed to a dealership asap. Ignore her and you take away her control, it would eat away at that bullshite attitude. Good luck dude, sounds like you need it!

Tigerclaw, your mom is not crazy, she loves you!!! A junior in college, so I take it you are under 21, and you are staying in your parents home for the summer. How much rent are you paying? If you are under their roof, you are under their rules. You want to come and go as you please, then you should be living away from home paying rent and everything else that comes with it. I don't blame your mom one bit, she loves you in a way that you will never understand until you have a child of your own.

As said already, it's a control thing with her having her baby back home. Discuss it with her like an adult as you should be learning to do in college.

Looking back, I probably would have benefited from listening a few times when my parents told me not to go somewhere as a 20 year old. Food for thought.

ETA, if this is the only problem you have to bitch about then you're sitting pretty.

Are you saying you don't understand the benefit of getting out of debt?

By age only. Adults don't come to the internet to complain about mommy taking their truck away, or about mommy making rules for a visitor in her house.

Old Spice, take a look what you've done...

OP, I wouldn't pay much attention to the responses in this thread, since it's clear that about half of the respondents can't read. I'm sorry that you hate your mother. Have you felt this way about her for a long period of time? If so, you shouldn't have agreed to put the truck in your parents' names.

The wild card here is your dad. I really don't understand him not taking a more active role here.

I think it's pretty obvious from the op that you're masking some underlying sexual desires to be with your mom. Don't think you're weird or anything, it happens to a lot of people. Just remember, you cannot, not, have sex with your own mother. Just find a girl who looks like her and you should be fine.

OP I was in a very similar situation to what your going through. At 18 I moved out, got a full time night job and started paying for everything. Now at 22 I'm completely independent from my parents. I pay all bills, school related costs, car and health insurance, etc. My relationship with my parents was not in a good place 2 years ago. It ate at me all the time because they tried to be very controlling even though they had nothing to actually control me with. So I sat them down over dinner at my apartment with no other siblings around one night while visiting and explained that they had no holds over me, financially or otherwise. Despite the fact that I was no longer dependent upon them for anything I still loved them very much and always would. After telling them that, I dropped the absolute biggest hammer I could possibly drop on them. Calmly told them that at this point in our relationship they could quit concerning themselves with trivial things like when I came and went from a residence that I paid for, who slept in the bed that I paid for, and whether or not I attended the classes that I paid for. After that I basically told them that loving them would never change but them being a part of my life certainly could if they refused to stop making trouble in matters that didn't concern them.

So tl;Dr. Make sure your completely independent, re-state that you will always love them , then tell 'em if they don't like what they see they can kindly gtfo

I too, have a controlling mother. I'm on my own and have my family now, so she no longer has any instruments to use against me. But she still very much tries to take anything, be it a kid's birthday party, a decision I'm about to make, etc. and plan for me. She gets hurt feelings when I'm not on board with her. Instead of pulling little control stunts, she now gets pissed off at me.

I love my parents, flaws and all. But really the best lesson you can learn from this is to not do it to your kids. Remember the way you feel right now when you have a kid your age.

Yeah, that empty nest shite your Mom is experiencing is filtering out on you. She must be pretty controlling.
