My mother called me the other day, and when she realised I was out at 6pm, she told me to home....

is she delusional enough to think she can tell me what to do when I'm across the ocean?? I suddenly felt so suffocated talking to her on the phone. You can't outrun the toxicity even when you move out.

I'm just so scared to tell her about the man I intend to marry, she's never going to let me because he's not upper class and has a smaller house. :( I'm going home soon (to visit my family) and I don't know how to approach this conversation with her. I'm so scared. She has thrown tantrums in the past over me talking to boys. She has sl.ut-shamed me, called me every dirty name under the sun. I'm 31 now. If she refuses to let me marry him, I'll never return.

What a terrible dilemma for you. Having experienced the freedom in a different culture you naturally don't want to go back to being 'caged'. I hope it is safe for you to go home, much as you love your mother. If you tell her what you plan and she still refuses, will she try to detain you somehow?

Controlling behaviour is abhorrent and although sometimes it's well-meaning controlling love it is still control. If someone is going to be hurt over this, probably best it's not you.
