Hello Matt,
The military is not the way you think it is. They are not interested in anyone who isn't 100% fit or whom they can't quickly make 100% fit, both physically and mentally. It is doubtful whether you would pass selection. If you did you would probably break down during the stress of basic training which is VERY hard. I'm sorry Matt but the military is not the escape you are looking for. I feel sure that joining the military, say the marines, would just be like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire for you. You would end up doing considerably more damage to yourself. I'm sorry if I am raining on your parade but I don't want you to get hurt, (and I don't want to sound like your mother either).
There must be easier ways of escaping your mother's influence. Tackle something where you have an odds on chance of succeeding. Joining the marines would be incredibly difficult and hard for you. Wishing you the best of luck,
Alan
