She wants me to go to college back in our old hometown, where I can "go home for dinner" every night. The thought makes me sick.

I think she's trying to live her life through me. Like, she never had a life like mine, with the whole good grades thing and parents being hover-y, so she thinks she's being great when actually she seems like she's bordering on psychotic. I'm just so pissed. I know she loves me and yada yada yada, but she's not even "hovering" anymore, it's like she's trying to live my life because she screwed hers up or something. I'm not someone who shows my emotions easily, so if she yells at me and I'm stoic, she thinks that means I don't care about my life, the one "she never got to have". But of course I do care, and I even feel sorry for her.

Thanks for reading.
