Ugh, I was an only child & I remember my mom saying you will be my baby all your life. I remember thinking not only NO, but #@[[ NO. We fought all my life because I was fighting that concept. Things got better the older I got maybe because she got tired of fighting my seriously independent nature. She would get mad at things & not call for a couple of weeks but let her sort it out on her own.
Lol....Training one's parent is always more difficult the older they get

I'm sorry to hear that! She has always been controlling in that way, and if I did not listen and something went wrong, she would blame it on not listening to her. I think she needs therapy, but she will never admit she needs help herself. She seems to think she needs to be in control all the time, or things will fall apart.
