text: how am i suppose to show financial responsibility when my mom isn't willing to show her tax information? i want to go to college. but my mom is being a p.i.t.a! she won't do anything for me just tell the college financial aid office that your parents are refusing to give you the information. they may be able to get it for you.  and don't listen to the jerks who tell you get a job or research scholarships. you should do those things too, but you will need your parents information to complete the fafsa.  they just don't understand the process.
