While my mom likes to keep us (my brother- 28 and I) on a tight leash we do have our own responsibilities. She has honestly been pushing me to start doing things more on my own (like getting my license, ughh) and my brother is the sole provider for the family. She just sees certain things as non-negotiatables, haha. As I learn about what I can do as an adult I will explore more. She knows I have been struggling the last few months, so when I asked for her advice about going or not, she said I am going. I mean, I know she can't force me, but I asked for it and that is what she said. I guess it is a good thing...
