I need a different perspective on my relationship with my mother.
I'm an adult, colege graduate, and I am staying with my mom for the next few months until my temporary job assignment is over. At the moment, I cannot afford to live anywhere else. However, my mother would very much like me to stay and live with her forever, if she had her way. Whenever I mention that I'm saving money to move out, she'll ask to borrow money from me. If I even mention moving out at all, she gets mad at me and changes the subject. I would like to experience life as an adult, but she seems to want me to stay a kid forever. I'm her youngest, but my siblings live reasonably close by and she is raising her grandchildren (my sister's kids), so she can't be that lonely. It's frustrating too, because she never has any money, but expects me to spend what little I make on taking her out to eat or whatever. We fight constantly about stupid things, really and I'm counting down to I move out... any advice?
