I am a single, 23 year old female. I graduated from college last year and have a good job living 100 miles from my mom. My mother has always been very protective and almost nosey. That was fine as a child, but now I feel I should have some more space. I didn't know a lot of people when I first moved here so I've tried to branch out in a variety of ways, including online communities (MySpace, dating sites, forums, etc). My mother feels that since these are public, she should be able to read and comment as she pleases (like she did my childhood diary). There is nothing bad on any of them, but they are not meant for her. I want public profiles so I can find/be found by friends. But even as adults, my friends are a bit put off by my mother's presence. I've hinted that it bothers me, but it hurts her feelings. She lives .5 miles from her mother and calls her every day. She thinks I don't love her since I don't tell her EVERYTHING about my life. How do I deal without blocking her?
