Just be yourself, and stop giving a fuck what others think. I mean, be realistic, and be prepared to protect yourself from the innumerable assholes out there. There's always gonna be assholes of some type of another. They'll make up a reason to hate on you if they have to, so it doesn't really much matter in the end.

The purpose here is to maintain the current status quo (I presume OP is dependent upon their parents currently) so OP has more time to find alternate living arrangements. Having this sort of ticking time bomb to hold over her head shifts the balance of power towards OP, and may help keep the mother more in line.
