Reply #39: My sincere sympathies.

I'm home for the summer, because I was unable to find a roommate, and refused to spend any more money on a damned dorm room. My mother's patronizing/condescending, arrogant, narcissistic, bigoted, has no notion of privacy or personal space, and is both stupid AND senile. She's a poisonous pain in the ass, and I've facepalmed at some of her shit so hard I saw stars.

In short, I feel your pain. And people shouldn't be giving you shit for having to deal with her charming-ass self -- we can't always do what we want in life, especially if money's an issue, and we don't all get to have perfect parents. (My father borders on sainthood, but mummy dearest more than counterbalances that.)
