Of course it makes sense to get financially back on track, the question is how. I do go to college and recently graduated with 2 Associates Degrees and did very well in school. In the fall I will be starting a new BA program for teacher's (night and weekend program). I would like to get a job but my mother is playing the 'control' card right now and refusing even to let me use her car to get to work. I would take public transportation but I live in the sticks so that would be really expensive. She also is being very hard to deal with because she doesn't want me to work and just focus on school. She says that she'll start paying me for cleaning the house each week and I do already receive child support from my ex-husband for my daughter. Work doesn't seem like a possibility until I have a car and my mother says that she will help me do that soon so it's really just a matter of when but until then I don't know what else to do.
