Here's a great definition of the word "insanity". When you keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

Please come to terms with the fact that your Mom will not give you rides. Its too bad and it is ultimately her loss, because she is missing out on an invaluable opportunity to spend time with you. Don't dwell anymore on how she should be a better mom, because it isn't going to happen.

Once you've accepted that fact, then you, your brother and your Dad can come up with transportation plans.

Are there other friends/neighbors/relatives that can give you or your brother rides? I'm thinking of people who are going to the same event anyway, so giving you a ride wouldn't be a big deal. You could even "earn" the ride by offering to wash their car or do another chore. See? It doesn't have to be hard.


I'm so sorry - at 14 you should have other things going on in your life other than this crazy situation. But once you stop expecting things from her, she can't hurt you anymore. Look at the good things in your life - including all of your PT friends.
