Most recruiters want applicants to complete at least one semester of college. Have you spoken to a recruiter
Huh? I mean, it’s great if you have some college credit, but it’s by no means a requirement to enlist. OP would obviously need a nursing degree to be a Nurse Corps officer, but if she just wants to enlist as a corpsman/medic she can come in with just a high school diploma.
 
Joining the military is honorable, especially as a medic. That said, you may not be medically qualified to do so (believe me, I was a prime candidate, but disqualified for medical reasons which even the examining physician didn’t think were a serious problem).
 
Does she beat you? Tell you how ugly you are? Not respond when you call her mom? Has she ever abandoned you? Maybe in a dangerous area like in another state on the highway with no money or clothes? Threatens to kill herself or others?

Otherwise, has she provided you a home? Clothes? Food? Medical needs? Education? Possibly love? Then you should be respectful. When you talk to her do you speak respectfully? At least as kindly as you might speak to a friend? When you are an adult you will make whatever career choices you like.

The blessed mother may be the only other mom you get in life. Treat your mother who God has given you lovingly and kindly as possible and pray things will get better…offer this to God.

I don’t think it is sinful to protect yourself emotionally against toxic people in your life. Your life is like a garden. All kinds of flowers grow up around it, but weeds will want to come up as well. If you cannot have a miracle and transform the weeds into other flowers, sometimes you just have to pluck the weeds to save the garden. You have to remember however, to deal with all people including those who are toxic, with charity, do what Jesus would do. Pray about this issue and maybe talk with a priest about it for the best advice.
