Trying to be more independent

Today I had to go see a friend who is struggling. I was glad that I could support her and taking her out to lunch. The only thing is that I felt really guilty because I had to get my mom to drive me there because I can’t take the bus (it’s inaccessible and I’m physically disabled). My mom offered to drive her to her airbnb but it took ages to get there, and she was awfully tired when she got home. She got angry because my dad was just sitting in the sofa and did nothing. Then she said I needed to learn how to drive because she can’t continue driving me around until she’s 60. I felt awful because I had to take her whenever I wanted to do anything, and she would get angry/tired when she got home. I felt like I was making her life miserable. My mom also paid for lunch so I felt really guilty that she had to spend unnecessary money on my business. I’m really hoping I could learn how to drive during the winter so that I could be more independent and can go places by myself.

My mom has a driving school (in Belgium). She regularly has disabled people who are thought to drive with adjusted cars. It’s usually not an issue.
