only to have my mum make me feel horrible about myself? I just moved back home in January, and it seems like everything is now my fault. I just feel depressed and like I have low self-esteem, because she is always questioning my decisions. I'm more than half-way done with my degree and she is still trying to get me to change my major to journalism. I called an old friend today and afterwards she asked me about things she overheard on the conversation. Always questioning my moves, making me feel very badly about myself.

Don't be a member of the "boomerang generation." You need to stand up for yourself and move out. You and your mother are obviously incompatable as housemates and you should enough of an adult to live on your own. I know it will be difficult, but you have to decide if the potential sacrifice (like getting a job) will be worth it.
If that is not an option, you need to sit down with your mother and explain how you feel. Make her understand that you are an adult and can make your own decisions, with out her input. If she can't handle that, then ignore her the best you can and work on moving out!

you need to move out...your mother is trying to controll all aspects of your life..you are a little old to be in this position. Get a job and finish your education yourself. Others do it all the time. Until you are ready to stand up for yourself and on your own two feet, you are at the mercy of this woman. Good luck

i think that maybe your mom is just worried about you. she may think that the only way that you can be successful in life is if you do wat she says. my mom once told me all the bad characteristics i had....i felt crappy afterward, but it helped me to change. maybe she is not trying to hurt you, but deep down she is trying to help you. maybe you should stand up for yourself or ignore it, either one that you think that you would do better with.
