I’m 19, almost 20. My Eastern European mom has always been strict. In high school, I could never go out on school nights, and had to be home by 8:00 on weekends (only got to go out once a month). She tracks my whole family on Life360 (I have to keep it since my parents are financially supporting me still). Now that I’m in college, I can see my friends whenever, but I have to call my mom 1-2 times every day. When I go out at night with friends, I have to leave my phone (yes very dangerous). I still have to come home almost every other weekend, and though we contractually have to pay my rent through the summer, she expects me to live at home during every break. I have an older sister 23, who is a nurse living at home to save up money. She goes out “whenever she wants” but I can still tell that my mom alters her plans to be “safer” like coming back at a different time or telling her to ask friends to change details of the plans. Now that the semester is coming to an end, I realize my winter break is going to be me having to spend every day with my mom, and maybe seeing friends once a week if she doesn’t get angry at the idea. She is lonely and wants to make constant plans with my sister and me (and we have to be there when she makes plans with her friends too). I never see myself having total freedom. Any advice out there from people that have experienced similar situations?
