I politely said I was going to visit my friend that weekend cause of the snowstorm coming this weekend and into next week, so I wanted to take caution. She proceeds to tell me I’m not doing that because she needs help with the business and we never sat down and discussed me leaving (we did) and that my plans don’t come before the business

I don't know exactly what you should do in this situation, but please don't end your life. don't let her take the rest of your life from you. there's always a way out, like maybe your friend would be okay with letting you live with them for a bit until you can support yourself. that way you can get away from your mom and start living your own life. I hope it gets better for you soon 🫶

I mentioned how she never even told me about the event or certification before and she goes well I’m telling you now. I was upset, but I wasn’t raising my voice or anything, I said, I have a life, and she blew up at me going on a long rant about how she doesn’t have a life cause she’s constantly working and taking care of the house.

1) She chose to quit a high-paying job years ago with no backup plan 2) She chose to buy this expensive ass house in the suburbs 3) She chose to open a business with no financial security 4) She chose to have kids and raise them

Yet somehow her stress is our responsibility. I didn’t even listen to what she was saying after I heard don’t talk to me like that cause I was in fact calm, and then she had the nerve to say I love you at the end while crying (I’m not an assshole, she does this 24/7) and I was busy doing something else cause I was over it

How are you approaching 50 years old and acting like this? Learn how to regulate your emotions! Your behavior as a grown adult is embarrassing!!! She keeps talking about working together as a household, but how can I do that when you don’t respect my time? She moves like I have no other responsibilities. I’m 20. I have other things going on and she knows this

I’ve spent my entire life dedicated to her. Everything I’ve ever done up until I got to college was for her and about her. I never got to live my life. And now that I’m trying to do that, I’m being selfish. I didn’t realize wanting to build my own life was such an issue. I’ve had it with her. She makes me not want to live anymore. I don’t want this life if this is how I’m gonna be treated.
