I resent my Mom for thru the years trying to control me. I greatly respect my Mom, but Her over-protection of me making wise choices is suffocating (if I make mistakes, she judges me sternly that I should’ve known better (how can I grow?) !!..makes me want to pull away drastically! My Dad is understanding & supportive- we get along fine. I’ve got a reputation for being the ‘good, conscientious’ daughter, but I have to be blunt & stand my ground when confronted with her. She won’t accept me as I am & doesn’t support whatever vocation I decide is most pleasing to God, not her. I struggle with obeying my parents from one of the Commandments, b/c to some extent I have the right to find my nitche and branch away from the nest. It’s no wonder why I’ve done emotional shopping for 6yrs- needed something to get away from it all. She hates my flaws- but thankfully God loves me anyways. She’s got emotional baggage & unforgiveness for people in her past, she coaches me & yet God still loves her. Why can’t she just love me for ME?. I always wanted to be a travel missionary, but she told me no b/c I wouldn’t make money- & yet God’s still calling me to be that missionary.
My older siblings tell me they were once there too- it’s nothing they haven’t heard before, but they confronted her & she backed off.
Problem is: I’m still at home under her roof- follow her rules or she gives me consequences. I’m 24, still in college, & ready to move out. Please pray that I have self-control to save my money, the courage to confront her & move out, and pray for her persecutions to me.
