  rant on...sometimes it is hard for a parent to stop being a parent and just be an adult friend (which is what we want them to be)  I recently had a phone converstaion with my elderly mother, and she surprised the heck out of me.  She said, "I never let you grow up, did I"  I won't go into details, but that was a kicker from someone who was good at abuse.  I have forgiven her now that I understand that she was ill.  She doesn't even remember, really.  Anyway, for a parent to "not know best" is something I would like to see.  Wait till you have kids, and one of them wants to jump off a bridge with a bungee cord or something...ha.  Hang in there, be polite and understanding, maybe, even if you are only listening with one ear!  This too shall pass....  You sound like you are doing just fine.

  queen, when you become a mother yourself, perhaps you will look into the situation on a mother's perspective. take things one step at a time. feel better soon!!!

  That's what moms always say (and with some justice)....wait till you have kids !
  Sometimes it's hard for both sides to let go.  You want to live your own life and be yourself and your mom doesn't see you as grown enough (and never will by the way) for you to fend for yourself without motherly protection.
  That story is as old as time itself. But don't worry, it will pass....just agonizingly slow that's all.   LOL
