ORIGINAL: Zeeboe I'll go ahead and tell you all what happened. A relaxing evening I was looking forward to last night was ruined because of my Mother. But I am at fault too for being so sensitive and overreacting. I'm wanting to move out. I was just paid from work and was just telling her how much money I had saved up. So she pulls out a piece of paper and pen and starts writing all this stuff down, trying to prove to me that I can't move out. Even though I plan to save and get a second job. But she tells me in a very annoyed and frustrated voice that I don't understand, but I think she's the one who doesn't understand. I also know that she doesn't want me to move out. She is always telling me how every bit of money I make will have to go towards rent, and I'm fine with that. I just wish she would support my dream. Anyway, last night all I wanted to do was having a relaxing evening and watch some films, but she upset me so much that I couldn't and the whole night was ruined for me. A night I was looking forward to. She ruined last Friday night for me too...another night I was looking forward to with her nonsense, but that's a different story. I'm also way too sensitive, and I suffer from O. C. D. where I obsess over bad memories. Being like this had lead me to having acid reflex anytime I get upset, or anytime I see something that reminds me of a bad memory. Anyway, I'm worried now that when I do go to watch those movies that I'm going to be reminded of the fight and get acid reflex, and the movies will be ruined for me. My Mother and I are back on talking terms, but I'm not over it. I'm still upset, and even got only four hours of sleep last night. I couldn't sleep for a long time, then when I did sleep..it was only for two hours. I was up for a while, but then finally fell asleep, but again it was only for two hours. I'm pretty tired now and feel hung-over. Zeeboe, I'm in prayer for this situation, too. I was reading these previous posts, and had some thoughts to share. Parents can read all they care to about how to be good parents, just school themselves till they can barely stand it, but in the end, they usually only have the chance to be one maybe to one or three children, and that's it. They've only had one childhood and one opportunity to dream big dreams, and it may just be that you were a part of your mom's big dreams in life. Don't hold her to being the perfect mom- just let her know you love her for who she is and what she does for you. Gut it out one day and run the numbers with her, watch her write them on paper and listen to what she's thinking and what she's telling you. Ask her where she thinks you might pick up some additional money. Let her know you don't have any interest in going off on your own and financially falling on your face. I just have to believe she really does want you to follow your dreams, and live victoriously, and that you've just got to let her tell you so in her own way. In His awesome love, OneJohn410
