I am about to turn 18 and go to college in the Fall.
She doesn't let me make any decisions for myself, yet she tells me to be independent. She tells me to have a social life, yet she doesn't let me ride in a friends car, I am not allowed out after my dad's home from work (6-7PM), they don't let me drive even though I already have my license, etc.
My mom has even told me that I'm going to major in Biology and become a dentist. She told me she wants me to make a lot of money to pay her back for raising me.
As a child, she made me sign a contract saying I would give her my full paycheck before I was 21 and after, 15% of my paycheck for the rest of my life. She kept it. She's serious too. I had to give her my 8 paychecks. She will disown me if I don't do what she wants.
What should I do? Let her disown me and pursue my own dreams (graphic designer for a record label) or continue her demands so I won't be disowned? But I don't want that. I'd be so sad!
Advice please!
