Clingy mom
My mom has no friends, no job, no life. My dad had always been her support system and she depends on him a lot. I recently moved back home since covid and she drives me crazy. I’m a full time student and am in a quarter system so my life is hectic with school and work and trying to fit a social life in and she constantly wants to hang out with me. She told me that she wants to hang out with me and have fun but I Just want her to leave me alone as mean as that sounds but she’s super overbearing. She has no motivation to do anything. I don’t know what to do. I try to take care of her and give her attention because my dad is so swamped with work too but it’s getting to the point where I snap at her. I have my own stresses to worry about and she doesn’t get it. She thinks I take school too seriously. I am 22 years old and she guilts me into staying home with her when I make plans with friends. I was in a meeting and she came in and just laid on my bed watching me and waited til I was done. Then I was working out and she legit watched me and started telling me how I could be hanging out with her instead of always doing homework or working out. Is this normal?!! She drives me crazy! Don’t get me wrong I love my mom but I don’t know how to handle her. She seems to get worse as I age which I understand that she doesn’t want me to grow up but she tries holding me back from a lot.
