Mom problems? It's getting annoying and un-motivating!

So, I am 16 and I got my GED in December. After begging my mom to pay for it she cried the poor mouth (She won’t even take me to the doctor because of the co-pay and I have ALL the symptoms of endometriosis).
So for money, I went out and got a full-time job and I paid for my GED (I got a REALLY high score on it :)).
Afterward, I quit because there was no use in working when my money just gets “borrowed” by my mom lol.

The other day, I got accepted into a community college(thanks to my grandma driving me). BUT, I haven’t been able to start because my mom is too lazy to drive me to the college, to meet with my councilor and take placement tests.

I know I won’t EVER be able to finish community college living with someone like her. Therefore, I want to take my SATs in March so I can get to university faster. I love and want to stay with my mom and my siblings, but I can’t. She’s seriously holding me back from everything. I don’t even think she’s going to pay for my SAT or the university application fee.

I just don’t understand, aren’t moms supposed to be happy about their children going to college? Aren’t they supposed to help support you, at least emotionally? It seems like I’m a bother to even talk to her. I know it’s MY education and I shouldn’t need others to help me. I’m just so confused and heartbroken. I have been missing school since 6th grade(11 years old) to take care of my infant and toddler sisters (at that time) like my own children(feeding, dressing, bathing, changing diapers, everything, from 7am-11pm), until I could legally drop out. I’m sick of it. What do you think? Do I just become cold to this world I’m living in until I can walk away and not look back? Thanks in advance.
