Moms out there I plan on giving this letter to my mom or emailing it to here tell me what you think...(Jesse is my ex whom broke up with me 3 weeks ago)
Mom-
I’m writing this too you because I am frustrated. I’m 23 years old almost 24 and living at home, and it is not fun. I think that is one reason I miss Jesse, because I had that place away from home I could go to. I appreciate you and all you do for me and I love you for caring so much, but there comes a time in a child’s life that the child needs to start feeling not controlled by their parents. I know it is your house and I need to respect that and take care of my room better for you, but please stop telling me what to do and when to do it. I’m just trying to be honest with you, I’m not trying to hurt your feelings, but I need to get these feelings out to make me a better person. I need to learn to make my own decisions, and stop listening to everyone else’s suggestions on my life, it is a thing I need to do to grow up even more, it is something I need to make myself better for my future. I love how we have gotten closer mom, but I need this from you. I need to start seeking approval from myself instead of you, this leads me to be more self-confident instead of self-sufficient in what your opinions are. Please work on this with me, just so I can start being a better me, more self-confident, more self-sufficient, I need to feel like I have control of my own life. I have been reading a book by Dr. Phil about getting out there and dating again, and the first thing is to start loving yourself, and being your whole self, so that is what I’m trying to do. I love you and appreciate you caring so so much about me, I’m doing this also so we are closer. Thank you for everything you do.
