overbearing mother

[smallmovesal]

tonight i asked for more space because she brought it up... because of a situation.

well she took it personally and was basically like space, then you take all the space you want... so now i'm not on my parents' drug plan anymore.

although they are still going to help with my payments. i said ifyou don't want to pay stuff i will add it to my loan.

i don't know what to do... it's so frustrating.

drug plan=health plan?

yeah like i have to go through the school now to pay for my antidepressants... for instance.

i think i'll be moving myself in the spring. hopefully that's to a job so i don't have to live at home or in this city.

I getcha. so you have to be a full time student in order to still be under your parent's health/drug plan. got you now. I work full time, and I only took 1 class this semester and it sorta kicked my ass in between working out, work, and sleep. next semester I will try for 2 classes. I will probably get all soft from not going to the gym, spending that time studying. I also go out like once a month, if anything.

any words of wisdom? she made me feel like i was being a mean and horrible person... said i wasn't being myself, which i think really means i'm not the person she wants me to be.

i tried to be as honest as possible and i chose my words carefully.

i'm 24 and i think she should trust my judgement more than she does. she loses sleep worrying about me when i think she should just let me take care of things.

as much as i am currently on medication for depression and had a rough semester. she just was smothering me from another city, if that makes sense.

hmmm... I think she is being too motherly at yer age, but then again, she is supporting you, am I right? Maybe you should lighten up the load at school, so you can get your deal straight and have more time to REST easy. money isn't everything, school isn't everything. if you don't take a class this semester, you can always take it the next semester, but don't let that be a habit. did you have a full load at school and work(at all)?

Jesus. Sounds like Norman Bates' Mother. Mines the same way. When I moved out a few years ago, she gave me this mind-fuck speach about how "I would rather move out & live in sin, than stay at home & help out my parents"! She said that "I didn't care about them". Seems to me that there are ALOT of kids who move out of their parents house, but not alot of parents try to make them feel like shit about it. After I told her that--she shut up.
