I want my mother to leave me alone

I (F22) am tired of my mom being in my life. Ideally I want to cut all contact with her, but because of other family members it’s just not that easy. I have my reasons why I hate her but I don’t tend to go into detail about it in this post.

I live with my dad (parents are divorced) and I don’t see my mom often. Yesterday she asked me if I could take care of her cat for 3 days next week ‘cause she’s gonna go to idk where. I said yes because I’ve gotten used to being guilt tripped if I’d say no, but this is honestly not my problem.

Why do I have to take care of your cat? Why don’t you just ask your neighbours to feed her or keep her at the kennel? She used to do the same with her dog, asking me to take care of it like I’m some free dog walking service. It’s just annoying. I don’t live with you, those are not my pets, I have my own life, just leave me out of it.
