I just got back from a weekend at a college where i interviewed for a full scholarship. I begged to go by myself as my mom is so overprotective and leechy. She got mad and finally said she wouldnt go. (this isnt the first time ive had to cut the umbilical cord and make her mad) I am leaving in the fall for college and i want some independence. I get back and come over to my mom's to appease her and the first words out of her mouth are "So tell me everything about it" and i told her i didnt want to. This same instance has happened about multiple events in the past. So now she is mad and wont talk to me. I just want something of my own that i can have for myself. I worked hard to earn a spot for this scholarship and i know the money pertains to her, but i can handle it. I have enough to get a full ride even if i dont get this. Am i so wrong to want independence? I hate it when she gets mad like this.

You don't have to tell her everything, but to take the time to sit down and tell her a little about it wouldn't hurt. I understand your frustrations with the over protectiveness, but believe me, one day she won't be there anymore and you'll regret this time.

She's just sad that here little fledgling is leaving the nest. It's hard for many parents to let go. She'll get over it. You can't be expected to live with her for the rest of your life, can you?

Haven't you master the art of placating your over protective mommy yet?
I bet you have. Just do not forget those skills. You will still need them after you leave for college.
Good luck.

no i think you were right because she cant be with you the rest of your life and you have to be able to do it on your own
