I'm a bit behind in college (22) but am very interested in a college on the east coast. I'd be living with friends while going and would love nothing more. My mother is very negative. She says I'm a loser, worthless and nothing compared to her friend's kids who already graduated (even though one of them had three kids by my age because she's a call girl on weekends; nope, she has a college degree so she's a beacon of inspiration).
I told her that I want to move to get my degree, and she threatened me with the following:
1. If I move, my grandparents will both die. Keep in mind they're both 70, but are very active and have no health problems.
2. If I move, my mother will have daily strokes, heart attacks and seizures (she has none of the above and is 47)
3. If I move my neice will grow up and I will miss it. My neice is 6, and would be 8 if I decided to return.
4. I will get pregnant by "all sorts of men" if I move. !
She does this day after day. How do I deal?
