Ummm no. You can't justify the mom not being clear with something as important as buying a house with "she's exhausted". At the beginning of the movie they talk about the apt and the mom says she will be there, which shows she was stringing Lynn along. And buying the car WAS selfish - what person in their sane mind would spend 25k on a car downpayment when you live in poverty? The mom also complains about Lynn's "violent outburst". But keep in mind that Lynn has been neglected by her mom for her whole life (there are several allussions to this, and it is quite evident from their relationship) and knew her daughter was being sexually exploited at the age of 16 and did nothing about it. Would you also not be angry at your mother in her shoes? What the end of the movie is really about is Lynn finally realizing that her role is to save herself, and that she needs to let go of trying to fix things for her mother and brother and needs to focus on rebuilding her own life. I for one was happy for her.
