sometimes you need to just tell her to shut up and to "can" her insecurities. sometimes you need to tell her that it is for clara's best interest and refuse to give her a reason so she can no longer argue back. sometimes you need to get things ready behind her back. sometimes you need to tell a lie here and there so that you can be happy. sometimes you need to tell her to but the hell outta your life. and sometimes omitting (leaving out) certain details is a necessity. maybe she needs to get it through her head that she can control you in her house, but you DON'T have to live there, and therefor DON'T have to let her control you. keep an open mind, and don't be affraid to have a little friendly fun now and again. sometimes you have to stand up for yourself no matter who it is. later on Dorothy...

~Sorry to hear of the hives epidemic...hopefully it is clearing up as the stressors in your life are identified and systematically crammed back into the little boxes they escaped from. ~You and I are alike in this way~we feel the need to create for our children that which we were denied, a safe haven for all of their creativity and joy. ~By way of possible suggestions, why don't you look at one of the apartments in my complex? They have smaller townhomes, and also one bedroom apartments. ~Start small and build your way up. Owning a home is not feasible right now, but with time and effort it may become so.
Hey, there. I thought I had commented to this posting earlier, sorry about that. *spaced out look* Hope you're doing a little better by now. Are the hives doing better? How about the asthma?
I hear you on the "having your own home" thing. Before I started the SLIS, I was getting really antsy around my parents. They were always very supportive and not nearly as controlling as your mom, yet I felt stifled. I wasn't paying rent, but I got to the point where I wanted to yell at them if they told me they wanted me to do the dishes! Silly, right? It's just that independent streak that develops when you become an adult; I firmly believe God gives us those impulses so we will leave our parents' home and make our own. It's totally understandbale for you to feel that way. Hope you get to spread your wings sometime in the very near future! And remember, it's not all about your mom. ;)
