Oy...
I remember me at that age!
Mom, I am so sorry.
My dd is going through the same thing with dh and me. She's staying at her brother's apartment, helping him watch the baby (he finally got his own place! YEAH!) and starting college.
With boys, it seems they never really cut the apron string - you almost have to move and not leave a forwarding addy.
With girls though, is it ever not a bloody mess?
Every girl I know had the same time. The apron string cutting time - some time in the teens or twenties - when they pulled away from mom and dad. It hurt everyone badly, mom, dad and daughter, but it was for the best. And it all came out okay.
If you were okay up until lately, you will be okay again.
I can say this even as a mom feeling the same concerns - will she hate me forever? Is she ruining her life? Deep down, I know she knows I love her, and she loved me once, she'll always love me even if she hates me.
