So I’m 22 and I don’t have my license yet. But when I was 18 and had a good job and didn’t have to pay the rent I wanted to buy a car so I could practice driving. (My mom and dad didn’t want to teach me and driving school is a lot of money) my mom told me I couldn’t buy a car without a license. And I’ve taken a lot of advice from my mom and usually she’s right. 19 I finally get my permit after my mom said she couldn’t find my birth certificate. But not long after I find a folder under my moms mattress (I was looking for alcohol lol) and I found a folder that had my name on it. Problem was neither of my parent’s names were on the birth certificate… it was my aunts and a guy I remember she hung out when I was younger. For the next week I’m getting calls and texts from all these people that knew the whole time. But when my parents told me their side of the story I completely understood where they were coming from. Only problem that kept coming up was transportation and my mom promised to give me her car. Which I thought was gonna be an olive branch for kinda holding me back. She sold it and got a nicer car… which she deserves 100% she works her ass off but If she didn’t lie so many times I would be driving right now. And my parents could stop acting like I’m a burden for asking for a ride. Or just pure freedom. My step dad started teaching me but once him and my mom broke up he stopped so I’m stuck and mad but I don’t want to be a spoiled brat.
AITA because my mom didn’t give me her car?

I don't think you are the AH here at all
It just sucks cause I know for her biological children she would’ve given them her car. They are 11 and 7 but she will literally give them presents that she gave to me…. Send them on vacations buy them crazy expensive shit… it just hurts a lot cause I didn’t want to be like those bratty kids on tv that would say snarky things like “you’re not my parents” but she has literally said she didn’t want me before when I was younger…. But I had no idea what she meant so it really sucks… I hate being a burden
When I say give them present she game me she would buy me a present they proceed to give that same present to my siblings after she said it was for me.. she promised to buy me another one but never would
You're not a burden at all. I think it is disgusting she is treating you the way she has been. You don't deserve that at all.
Thanks it’s been hard to navigate… cause you know I’ll get “ oh she’s just painting me to be the villain “ or “im just a bad mom” so I just can’t wait to save up enough money to go to driving school and get a car.. after im leaving
