Thank you, my family

I can certainly feel grateful to my family. My parents helped pay for a huge portion of my college education and granted me a car and they are relatively supportive in my life goals. However, they (namely, my mom) have no understanding of love ( Read more... )

Hmm... sorry about the late reply.
There's a book my dad is a fan of called the five love languages. I think he gives it too much credit, but it could explain how your mom feels.
TL;DR, different people react to different things in order to feel loved. Words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, physical touch. So you need to find what it is that your mom is looking for, which may not be your own typical way of expressing love.
:shrug: Something to think about, maybe also irrelevant.

But some people really don't seem to grow up in general, and accept that there is a world around them. So it could just be that too.

Eitherway, sounds like moving out could be a good idea.

Also, family can be much easier to deal with when you don't live with them.
