Double standard: how do you deal with it
Have you dealt with this in your life?
My mom was just drying clothes at 1 am. And the dryer was making a lot of noise. My roommate, and my dad were sleeping when this occurred.
She forbade me just yesterday from using the dryer at 11 pm because it was too late. Today I asked her if it was too late to be drying and she replied but she needed some clothes.
I figured out over the years that her constantly forbidding me from accomplishing activities of daily living is her way of exerting control over me. She likes to have a leash over everyone and she isn't happy if she doesn't which is why she doesn't have many friends. One actually and that one friend she bent over backwards to please. But all this has a bad impact on me. This is why I can't take care of myself.
Anyway, can't wait until the day I become independent. Have my own place which is some distance away from her.

I live in an apartment. The laundry room is not allowed to be in use after 11:00 PM. If you move out and move to a major city and get an apartment you will have to deal with much worse laundry drama. Trust me.

John, this isn't your personal therapy board. You are just so excruciatingly awful and dull. It's bizarre that you have a roommate AND live with your parents. It's all so nonsensical. Everything you write, every last awful vomit of your brain that you feel so compelled to share just doesn't make sense. Are you dirt poor? The melodrama about everything, the "goodbye" to your father, the controlling mother,your strange obsessiojs with SO MANY THING, the fact that you have a roomate in your parents' house, the fact that you are so ill-prepared for human life, that you STILL HAVEN'T TAKEN THAT DAMN TEST...it's all so sad and sick. You are the equivalent of rusty nails hammered into the eyes. I speak for many when I say...FUCK OFF.

He's leaving because he doesn't want to be with my mom and because he wants to make something of the very few years he's got left. Since he's married my mom, it's been nonstop trouble for him. She keeps digging holes while he's behind filling them. So he hasn't had much time for himself and for he wants.

What would you do if you knew a man who looked like a double eye-lidded Tom Hardy? Would you take him to the high school dance? I would. My mother rents rooms in our one bedroom Canada apartment to Tom Hardy impersonating door-to-door makeups sellers. They do. They will not let my father use the dryer and keep him in the basement with the tins of Vienna Sausages that my mother serves me through the slot in my door. I do. I keep my collection of scalp skin and hobo shoes in the basement where my father lives. Do you know where I can find a used book about making bars of soap into keys and Tom Hardy masks. I will. I use my nursing skills to return to my high school and hide in the locker room. When is American Halloween? Do your high school friends wear soap masks? I postponed my NCLEXIEIEO exam so I could make a map of England from the mashed potatoes and dryer lint my father gives me when I visit him in the furnace. He said I am great big boy. What would you do? I might. Why do the babies always turn away from me? Is it that they are high school babies like in America? What is it like at night in American basements? My roommate makes grilled sandwiches on the Canada radiator. I will use the stove one day. What is coffee like? Does it go through pipes? I am.

WTF - your father says he's leaving and DOESN'T PLAN TO MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH YOU... and it's your mother you're complaining about???
Dude, normal divorced fathers and decent human beings do everything in their power to maintain good relationships with their children during and after a divorce, and your father is not behaving normally in this! Your mother may be annoying but at least she's willing to keep a roof over your head and do housework so you can study, while your father is behaving like a monster.

R27, that was beautiful.
My mother was also extremely overbearing at times although she also hated me. Most of the time she completely ignored me. I thought her intermittent control freak behavior was the reason I was a loser. It wasn't. I was just crazy. I thought when I moved out it would be different. I just became a slutty, drunk loser.

Her house, her rules. As long as you are dependent on her, you do not have an equal relationship and you don't get to annoy her the way she annoys you.
And from what you've told us, she is willing to maintain a relationship with you and support you, when your father is not. Try to appreciate that, and forgive her for all her irritating little ways, there are more important things going on. In other words, shut up and study!

"Leaving you" - what the hell does that mean. He announces in advance that he is disappearing from the family, forever, no contact.
1) That is extremely weird
2) I don't believe it.
3) I think John, you are very fucked up and need that therapy.
4) If it is true, John, you need therapy to deal with your own special psychology and also a lifetimes living in a very odd family. I would say you are aspie, or OCD, or something. And growing up in that family only made it much worse.

Agreed.
The mother, at least in this thread, sounds like a textbook narcissist by not letting her darling learn how to do laundry, so that he's dependant on her. And also setting rules [such as "No laundry after 11 pm"] that she herself then immediately breaks, because "it's different for me!"
