LONG POST**** Hello guys, I have been a lurker of this site for about 4 years now and finally decided to make an account today. Before I get started here's a little bit of background information about...
Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond. Taking all advice into consideration and so far so good. I'll definitely keep you all posted on what happens but for now everything is working out....
***Long Post. If you don't want to read it all go to bottom for summary! Hello everyone. I just wanted to thank everybody for the advice. I wanted to give you all an update since it's been a while...
She did raise us alone. He did help take care of us money wise, but as far as being in my life every single day .. no. He does know how she is so he chooses not to deal with her very much. I haven't...
I think that assuming that I don't have a father (and he's not in my life) is a bit ignorant because actually I do. Him and my mom are not together .. why? You have to ask them. We talk quite often...
It's not really affecting me school wise. Sometimes it can be a distraction during the semester, but I have managed to keep my GPA well above 3.5 so I'll be fine in that area. It affects me...
I will check it out. Also, thanks for the links you posted yesterday. They were actually very helpful and definitely hit home. I'll be looking more into
She's very manipulative. There's so many stories I could tell and you wouldn't believe it. I honestly feel like once I do leave I really don't care if I have a relationship with her or not. Even if...
So if I don't seek help or stand up to my mother ...... that'll make me a bad nurse? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but that was my first thought when I initially read that. I...
And I appreciate the advice given by everyone who took the time out to respond because in reality, everything that they have said has been true. It was great and I am taking it all into consideration....
So encouraging and nice to hear. You are exactly right. I just don't want to move and end up struggling financially to pay bills. Then I'd have to spend more time on work and less on school .. then...
"Favorite child" is the truth though. Some people don't understand because they've never experienced it but there is a such thing when the parent treats one child better than the other or supports one...
It's more so my mom's fault. But I don't have a close relationship with my sister either for the simple fact that she pretty much acts just like my mom. She doesn't control me, but she acts as though...
I am at a point where I want to wait ... 2 semesters is long but then again it's not. I've spent all this time here and dealt with everything and nearly at the finish line. In a way I feel like me...
That's another issue. I had a friend I could have roomed with a year ago. She said no, so my friend moved on and found another roommate. So the only option I have is to move in with 3 other people I...
That sucks. Don't get me wrong. She has 100% provided EVERYTHING for my siblings and I by herself, it's just that she is so controlling with me and only me. I am an adult and she doesn't seem to...
I agree. Financially ... I'm ok. I do pay her to live here so it's not like I've never paid rent before. I don't have a job for next fall + spring though so I don't really want to uproot and move when...
This is what I was trying to do. I only have two more semesters so I'm trying to tough it out, but everyday gets worse. There is definitely resentment and I'm not close with anyone in my household,...
You're right. She can't make me. But when she threatens to never talk to me again that's honestly what makes me stay. Our relationship really has never been good, but I will still feel guilty by...
