My mother is trying to control me. Help!

Question

My mother is driving me crazy because she's trying to convince my father that he needs to make me move in with him and force me to do what she wants. I'm 22 and I live with my cousin and I'm trying to write a novel. I worked in a factory for 60-72 hours a week for almost a year and saved up money so I don't have to work now and I can focus on my writing. I don't have a car (but my cousin does) because I don't want to spend money on insurance, gas, etc. My mother is trying to make me go to nursing school (like she did) and she wants me to live closer to her or my father. She knows she can't force me to do anything so she turned to my dad. They're divorced and live far away from each other...and I live far away from both of them. Isn't it my life? Can't I decided what I want to happen? I do not want to be a nurse. I do not want a car. I do not want to live with either parent. Should my mother back off or does it really seem like I'm messing up my life?

Answer 1

Do what you feal like doing. You are grown up person not a 15yr old anymore. If they contlro you is up to you to let them even do that. I think that you are ok where you are. Plus, why do they want you to move? What is she going to do for you. Is she going to pay for your rent? us she going to be helping you financially?? Do you want to be near her?? Ask those questions to yourself and do what you think is best for you. Good luck on your novel.
