i am very sorry to hear that you needed to drop out. i don't want you to feel like everyone is ganging up on your mom or saying that you made the wrong decision. you have to do what you have to do. one thing to remember is that your mom will always be your mom (for better or worse). when i decided to move to boston, my mom yelled at me, caused a scene and then told me she would never speak to me again. i was so angry i told her that was fine with me. i spent the next few weeks crying to my friends because maybe i was making the wrong decision, etc. by the time i was actually moving, my mom was upset, but hadn't stopped talking to me. she was hurt because her little baby was growing up and leaving the nest. it had nothing to do with the actual decision i had made. my parents still ask when i am moving home. i tease my dad that he needs to choose between me and my cat, and my mom because i am not moving home without my cat! my mom is deathly allergic to the cat!!! i can be hard some times, but you have to make your own way in the world.
