I'm 32 and I've lived on my own since I graduated college. I have a great job, and live about 45 min from my parents. My bro is no longer in the picture so essentially, I'm an only child. My mom is retired and my dad still works. My mom has nothing better to do than obsess about me, how I'm doing, wanting me to move back closer to them, etc.
So today she texted me saying she hadn't heard from me or seen any posts on fbook since yesterday morning so she was checking on me to see if I was okay. For real? Come on! After I talked to her for a while and confirmed that I am going home to see her and my dad this afternoon, she then asked if "something was up"??? I'm like, why would u think something is wrong. She said its a mothers intuition. I'm a little offended. Let me grow up! Let me be my own person. And if something WAS "up" and I didn't mention anything to you, then maybe I don't wanna talk about it!
Now I have no desire to go home for the visit. It's like it's never enough. I go home for dinner one night and she asks if I'm staying over, etc. I cannot establish clear lines without hurting her feelings and its driving me further away. Ive tried to talk to her about it and it doesn't matter..she so sensitive that she takes it as a personal insult and attack. Now, I have to go there and pretend to want to be there this afternoon and I have no desire to go. She seriously needs to back the hell off!
