Back on YTA for being mad about being alone for Christmas

I got on Chambers mobile for the first time in months cause I can't stop thinking about that stupid post. I posted here, 3 weeks ago, about how I was totally fine about going home to spend Christmas with my mother, as it was a tradition. Except this year, I get a call out of the blue from her boyfriend saying she's been taken to the hospital, she's dying, and I have been cut off from her inheritance. They weren't even going to tell me if I hadn't called her at the exact moment she was being taken away. I get to the hospital, she tells me how much she hates how I live my life, being single, not having any kids, and she will probably pass before she gets to meet any. I tell her I'm fine with that, but she just keeps going on about how disappointed she is. I ask why she never said anything before and she says its because my grandma would have been mad at her. She says how grandma is dead now and she can finally tell the truth. It was just such a bullshit thing to say to me when I drove 8 hours to be with her on her deathbed, and it made me cry in the middle of the hospital.<br><br>She ends up surviving and my mom gets better. So I decide fuck it I'm not spending Christmas with her. She can go fuck herself if she can't say anything nice to me even when she's dying. So I tell my teacher I'm not coming to school on the 25th and he says "why the fuck would you come on Christmas?". Didn't really have an answer to that. I end up going out drinking with 2 of my classmates and have a great time. We even exchange numbers so we can meet up during the break.<br><br>Here's the funny part, my mom calls me last night and says how happy she is I'm doing well and that my teachers are good to me. I ask her how she knows and she says she called my school to make sure I was okay. Except she had no idea what school I go to. So she called every school in my city asking for me, until she found the one I go to. At this point she knew exactly what teacher I had because she was the only one who knew me. So she calls her up and asks if I'm doing okay, and my teacher says I'm a fine student but it's kinda weird she would ask that. But my mom insists, and my teacher tells her that she's glad I'm not spending Christmas alone. My mom then says she's really proud of me for making friends.<br><br>My understanding is that my mom thought I was spending Christmas alone at home, and that she called my school to make sure I was doing okay. I guess it's just funny cause it shows she still cares about me deep down.
