Scoo, if you dont have any job, and no ability to support yourself and survive on your own. And your mother is still kicking you out you can call family services on her.
I cannot believe this is really the case. As far as I know, dim-cap aside, a parent has no further obligation to their child after the child achieves the age of majority.
But, to one day up and say, "I'm sick of you - leave!!!" is pretty cold hearted on the part of a parent. In today's economy, unexpectedly throwing them into a "sink or swim" situation by ordering them to leave their home is more likely going to see them sinking, not swimming!
I doubt this happened over the course of one day. The OP's post gave me the distinct impression that mom did
not want another exotic pet to care for until it was nearly 30. This is her business.
Not very loving or caring at all IMO. If an "of-age" child is being abusive and upsetting the environment at home then I could see giving them an ultimatum - straighten up or out you go! If there's no behavior issues, why force them out with such harsh, unloving sounding words, especially if it's going to be a financial or other kind of hardship on them?

The flip-side of "mom's-house-mom's-rules" comes here, with notice and tone. Hopefully, this "conversation" came at the end of several failed attempts to be more gentle and provide hints--such as an "apartment hunters" magazine left out, queries of "don't you want your own place?" or the like--or was part of a long-understood agreement. As the second element doesn't seem to be in place, one may hope that the first happened.
My earlier comment of "welcome to adult-hood" was not meant to be cruel, but to pretty much state the sum of my comments here:
shit happens and life sucks sometimes. Maturity comes in standing against these vortices of doom and marching onward--character and integrity requires this done even if it's totally unfair.
Scoo: You will ultimately be better off for this, really. In my own experience, it is entirely possible to love people even if living with them drives both parties utterly and completely insane. With time, maybe your mother will let you in on where her thinking was, but until then, you'll have enough distance to make seeing each other a conscious decision.
Oh, and you'll be able to have as large a stash as you can support. :smile1:
