Someone filed me wrongly as a dependent on their tax returns and now I can't file?

My mom filed me as a dependent on her taxes without my permission and now I cannot file. She claims that since I made less than $7500 and lived in her house, she can claim me. But, I am 18 years old as of April 2014, and paid rent to live in her house from July until December. I also paid for my own clothing, phone bill, gas money, etc. Is there any way I can fight this? And how long will the process take?
