I am almost 21 yrs old and my mom continues to treat me like im a child. She likes to keep a leash on me. But at the same time she wants me to be independant. To me that seems like a major contridiction. forcing me to live on my own but taking every step to ensure that I can't do anything. I was in group homes from ages 14-17 and never had the opertunity to learn how to drive. When i came back to my house before my eighteenth birthday I tried to learn how to drive so I could get my licence but all but tried to have me arrested and i spent three days in a state hostpital. Shortly after that she once again tried to have me arrested but I ended up going to live with my dad. That didnt work out so I came back to my place in Texas. My mom pushes independence on me and I really have no problem with it if only I had a licence so I wouldnt be sheltered. How do I get my mom to realize she is putting the cart before the horse and that I cant have her putting a leash on me always?

How exactly does your mom have a leash on you? You're nearly 21. You don't live with her. Get an education, get a job and then get a license. In the meantime, invest in a taxi service. Stop depending on your mom and she'll be forced to cut cord. You're an adult. Act like one.

YOU need to separate yourself from your mom; especially since YOU are allowing her to keep a leash on you. Take your independence and stop waiting on your mother to give it to you. Your 21...go where you want and do what you want and tell your mother your an adult and THIS is how its gon to be...MAKE IT SO!!!
