!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally understand, especially the looking like you're about to burst into tears due to being afraid of your parents as a child...
But you are not a child anymore!!! You don't have to take this s**t!!!!!
I know, easier said than done, I don't know where I would go if I had to find a new place all of a sudden - it would freak me out and send me deeper into the Pit.
What would be the consequences of your ignoring her demands and going camping anyway and being back after she leaves? Anything worse than her making your life a living hell, which she does already anyway? You said she doesn't have the money to pay someone to take care of the menagerie, so what are the chances that she would kick you out? That would put her at an extreme disadvantage from what I can see, so probably not likely, is it?
As I said, I know, easier said than done. I have a really hard time standing up for myself and confronting others, and when I have made choices in my best interest, it has come back to bite me in the butt.
Hoping this will work out for the best.
