Don't worry about taking out the money. This type of thing happens very often. You should focus on making a future for yourself. Many of us have had to make our own way or even support parents and other family members who have found hard times or been weaker than we are. Now is the time for you to decide what kind of person you're going to be and then work in that direction. Good luck!

The money was your mother's to use for your support and not yours. If she gave some of it to you as a gift, that may be a different situation.
Regardless, I do not believe you have any legal claim against your mother. I suggest that you find a job and earn the monies you need to support yourself as many other young people do.
