Difference of opinion

I can be very stubborn. It hurts me to be at odds with my mom over helping another woman because she thinks this woman is here to take advantage of my world. Argggggggggggghhhhhh I know when to cut the cord mom! If I have to. I’m doing this because I want to!!!!!!

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.

@NativePortlander1970 My Mum just got worse as time went by. She couldn't come over to visit my house without getting on a soapbox and preaching something at me. She never actually told me how to live or criticized my house, but she sure was into telling me how to think and what to believe.

@NativePortlander1970 I’m calling her mother bear right now. … trying to be protective of me. It helps me calm down. But she’s making my situation unpleasant. I guessthis is my no good deed goes unpunished” I have to accept my moms words. This is a small burden to carry. Lol.
