Dear B. Scott,
I have a problem with my mother. I’m grown but I’m still living with my mother since I am still in college and finishing up. But I’m really fed up with her because it seems she is trying to control my life! She picks a part my wardrobe, and buys me what she feels I should wear. And when I refuse she throws a fit. She continuously criticizes my driving, my cooking, and thinks that proves to her that I’m not ready to move out on my own. She feels she should be in charge of my money and what I do with it. And she even got into the habit of monitoring what I say to my own friends, even when it has nothing to do with her! She constantly has a problem with where I’m going and thinks everything I do is against her. She’s very sensitive. But I’m grown, too grown. Now, I tried to talk to her and explain that I am grown, but she throws in my face that I am not grown until I move out of the house! I know I am not in the circumstance to move. I’m working part time and going to school. But I’m tired of this bs from her. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but I’m not a child anymore, and I feel I deserve more trust and respect. How should I present this to her? What should I do?
A loving love muffin,
all grown up daughter
