Here we go, moving, agian.

Your family will be the people you choose to make your family--not those who are simply related by blood.

It's definitely time to get away from that sort of influence. Sometimes it's easier to love our relatives when they're not so close by.

I believe you are right, I am hoping things could get better between us if we are apart... but I am not completely sure it will work. My oldest sister is 35 and her and my mom still don't see eye to eye.

This is soooo true...

Good luck with the move, and telling your mom. If she does blow up on you just take the higher road and walk away. Not your problem once you move out anyways.

Well, I told her about a half hour ago. She isn't to happy, but she said I can do whatever I want and then hung up on me

I'm sixteen and had to basically cut my mom out of life over the last year. I'm lucky enough to have found my OWN family who loves and respects me. They appreciate everything I do and they let me know. My mother is a drug addict and feels like she needs a man to complete her. The most recent one, an alcoholic, convinced her that my boyfriend and I were the reason she is an addict. Thus she kicked us out and I haven't spoken to her since. She is true poison.


I hope you can be lucky enough to keep your mother a part of your life while also creating a new one for yourself.

Honestly, I wish I could be lucky to have her change when I move out. But I am not getting my hopes up, seems whenever I do that lately I still get let down. My mom, like yours believes she always needs a man around too. And yeah, those boyfriends can influence them in the worst ways possible. It's hard to watch, I've tried to step in and tell her what I think but she just pushes me away.
