Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Also I feel this is important. I’m 18, I got my drivers license at 17. So I’ve only really been driving for a year and a bit.

I have no sense of direction, I mean I’ve gotten lost following a gps before. I have no idea why but it just does not click with me. 
This gives me huge driving anxiety. I’m not a bad driver in any way, but when I don’t know where I’m going, or I’m going somewhere I’ve never driven to, the anxiety physically hurts. I always get lost.
Cut to a couple nights ago. My mom asks me if I can drive her to my aunts on Friday because that’s where they’re hosting the “club meeting” that night. They basically just sit around and drink wine. My moms really white. Anyways, the drive is about 30 minutes on the highway, and despite going there for Christmas’s or family stuff occasionally, Ive never driven there. Or picked up on the directions to get there. 

So I was a bit hesitant. The conversation goes as follows.

Mom: Youll be fine. You just have to drive me there then pick me up. I won’t be too late.

Me: Could (my brothers name) or dad drive you? I’m probably gonna get lost on my way home to be honest.

Mom: Are you serious (my name)?! (My brothers name) already has plans, and dad works all day. You really expect him to take time out of his day to drive me back and forth places?

Me: I don’t know I just don’t want to get lost, I have no sense of directi- *she cuts me off*

Mom: FINE, I just won’t go then. You can drive to (my girlfriends name) house no problem, but for some reason your sense of direction can’t drive me to Aunt Lindas?

Keep in mind, my girlfriend lives a five minute drive away.. my aunt lives 30 minuets away. You either have to take the highway, or country side roads to get there. 

Me: I just don’t feel confident enough to drive home by myself on the highway. I get really nervous, like remember the last place I drove you and we had the gps? I STILL got lost mom..

Mom: No, it’s fine. I just won’t go. We’ll just have to take your name off the insurance if you’re not confident enough to drive then. Till we do that there’s no more using my truck. No more going to (my girlfriends name) house or driving her around.

My mom let’s me use her truck if I pay for gas.

Me: Really..??? Mom (girlfriends name) lives down the road. It’s not hard to drive ther *cut off* 

Mom: But you can drive to Tims (café), you can drive to McDonald’s, Shoppers (store)?? Why can you drive to all those places? Because you pick choose everything you want to remember? I’m not paying extra on my insurance so you can not drive ME somewhere, when I ask you to. But nope, no more, I’m done (my name). 

Me: I’m sorry mom, I just.. *cut off again* 


Mom: I’m not having this conversation (my name). I’m done!


It’s been two days and this is still on my mind and bothering me. Me having driving anxiety is my own problem, I realize that.. but am I the asshole? Or was my mom being just a bit harsh. I may or may not have cried a bit after lol.
