Difference of opinion

Everybody wants to take advantage of someone else's world. I only worry about whether or not they are malicious or they just want to be a part of my world. As an adult, I don't let people control me, I own my decisions and am not afraid to say I have made a few that were poor. I ask myself when I know I am being stubborn, "Am I being stubborn just to prove I won't be bossed around or is it because I feel this is the right thing to do and good for me?" Being stubborn just to be stubborn doesn't do me any good.

I wish I knew what to say here...I just hope that between the two of you, you can sort this situation out.

{@mindful] it is good too see you have moral conscience that you are prepared to go that extra mile to help somebody who needs it. your mother should be ashamed of herself for think this way and being so cynical of others needs

but and this is just a thought, what if your mom turns out to be right?

I have never understood why parents have to be so controlling, even when we're grown adults in our 50's, my own mother is the same way, I keep her as far distant as I can.
