18 about to turn 19. I moved in the US about 3 years ago. My mom came to the US when I was 2. She's been here for 17 years now. I grew up with my aunt who is amazing and who raised me really well. My mom never came back to visit in my country for 17 years. And she had her papers she Just didn't want to come I think. She was the one paying for my school when I was back home and gave me what I needed but I still felt like I needed her more than money. It's hard to live with someone you didn't spend your life with. At first we would be fighting and she will stay days without talking to me. My aunt never did that I mean as a teen we did stupid things but she would be mad and then everything will go back to normal but she will never stay a day without talking to me. So when my mom started doing that I was like shocked but I got used to it. My mom is the kind of person who will be spending her money on shoes clothes makeup (you should see her closet) she'll find herself not having money because that's what she spend it on. Sometimes she would ask me to do something for her and I'll be doing homework and I'll tell her to wait a little and 5 minutes after I'll go to do what she asked me and I'll find her doing it. Then she'll be telling me that I dont do anything for. Sometimes she'll ask me for money and I'll give to her and she will be saying that I have it to her but deep inside that's not what I want and that I have a wicked black heart. I'm used to all that now. My stepdad(who is amazing) I'm really close to him. I've just known him for 3 years and I talk to him more than I talk To My mom because he is more open minded. He told me that my mom came to her before and told her she wanted to go back to school so he gave her money so that she can go back but she didn't. She kept the money and came making up stories to him. Recently she said she wanted to be a caregiver so my stepdad gave him money again to do that but she didn't do it. 3 weeks ago I was ready to go to school. I'm in college now and I don't drive yet so
