OMG, I soo know how you feel!

My mom drives me crazy too. Now that I live on my own, I try to limit my interactions with her, because no matter how many times or different ways I tell her how annoying her constant reminders are about the things I need to do or the things she thinks I SHOULD do, she doesn't stop. I hope you're able to keep your cool until you caN go home. I've tried to convince her to go to therapy or go on meds for anxiety (she's high stress and very intense and increases my stress levels by just talking to her). Good luck!

I will do them and get them done. She also tells me how to do my chores as if I don't know how to do them. Yes I make mistakes and may not do them as she does them but they are done. She is driving me nuts and I can't go home because my parents won't let me and I need my wound taken care of twice daily and I can't do it on my own I need someone to do it for me. Home health doesn't come every day just once a week so mom does my wound care. I still need help so have to stay out here. It will be soon that I can go home as my wound is 1 centimeter by 1.3 centimeters.
