If you need the background story, look at my post about Manipulative Mother and the Importance of AWALT.

So I took some suggestions I got on the other post and have been putting them to good use. I already have 3 or 4 quick jobs if I need cash, and am looking at a more fulfilling job.

This has caught the attention of mommy dearest, and she's not taken to it too well. I've told her to mind her own business and fuck off, but she recently brought up "the benefits" of staying with her until I'm about 20 or so(I didn't have to rush a job, I had a house etc). She certainly doesn't want me to succeed.

Obviously I'm going to move out on my 18th birthday, but I was wondering, what are the benefits for her if I stay?

I can think of:

1) More manipulation(I recently learned that all of my money she knows about is under her control, and she said she will determine when she gives it to me)

2) Possible leeching money

3) Claim me as dependent on taxes

4) Social validation. "Look at my caring son, ready to take care of his mother" type of shit.

Feel free to list others. But now to my real question.

Can any of these benefits for her be implemented BEFORE I'm 18? If they can, I would also like a way to get out of them.

Thank you.
