Been posting a lot haha, but I guess a lot of stuff is going on.
So I am finishing year 12 off at a private school right now. Last year my parents separated, and now my dad doesn't pay any of the school fees, and my mum has to pay them (she left the house, and had to start from scratch). So the fees is like 12 grand a year, money my mum doesn't have (as my three sisters also attend the school, and she has to rent). Now she is going to force me to pay back the whole of my school fees from year 7 to 12 if I don't achieve up to her standards (which is long gone due to some poor performances in assessments throughout the year), something I cannot do, cause I get like $180 per week from work (if i was to pay her this amount per week, it would take something like 7 and a half years to pay back the full amount, but I would obviously have a better paying job after I finish school)
I try to tell her that I will prepare for my exams (cause why wouldn't you?), she doesn't believe me and is going to make me pay back all of my school fees. I am obviously going to try in my exams, but the end result is not going to be what she wants, no matter how hard I try (and I never think anything was).
Now I understand that she, as my parent, wants to see me succeed, and do great, but I think its gone past that. This has now become about money and an investment, and if she deems I haven't done well, I could be left in a terrible economic situation for a number of years possibly.
I'm just fed up with the constant hassling from her, its causing a great emotional toll on me, something I don't need before exams (how funny is that, she wants me to do well, but is making me feel like honeysuckle). At the moment, I'm just at a point of not knowing what to do. Does anyone have any advice?
