My mother is/was an abusive, two faced person with immense love and immense abusive issues. She beat us up, called us every obscenity in the world and yet would defend us to the end when we were in trouble and would often cry for forgiveness. She put us before her in all things, but was physically and verbally too much. I moved across the US to get away and start my life. I swore to learn to be not like her. But I find many of my habits like hers (short-tempered, mood swings, depression, and lack of financial education) My mother was always depending on men to pay her bills. She did not know how to manage her money. I feel like I am becoming her. My bf is so good to me and I do not want to become insane like her. What can I do to work out those traits she has influenced me with? I am a lot more happy and confident since I ran away at 19, but I still feel her habits have rubbed off on me. I know nothing about money management and common sense stuff. What can I do to truly start fresh?
