Nah, just get your dad to beat her, OP.[[

If history is any indication of how to change a person to your liking, then beating her will do the trick.

The trick these days is to beat in a manner that does not raise questions. However, if you know that the beating that you are going to inflict will leave visual marks, make it look like they came from an accident. Like she fell down the stairs, hit her nose on a door, was playing a friendly game of catch that went wrong or a bedroom accident (wink wink). You know.... standard stuff.

I am hear to help, so I hope it works out for you.

i don't see you lasting long here at all
 
Your her kid. My mom wants me to move in after I graduate. I was offered a job in Texas...and she nearly panicked. After I decided no to take the offer...she was so happy.

My father on the other hand...I barely talk to him. But when he heard about th eoffer, he was so encouraging me to take it if I have to.
 
I'm thinking your Mom was living a little too much through you when you lived at home, and is having a hard time (or is unable to) adjusting to not having you there. Better to get this out of the way when you're young rather than something happening once you have a long-term SO, or a dream job you want to pursue.

Live your life for yourself, and try to get her to do the same.
 
Geez man. That, along with the post in the other thread, makes me thing that she has some very, very, very serious issues. Pschy FTW.

My mom was really weird and wouldn't give me any independence. Until I was about 10, I had to take showers in my parent's bathroom, my clothes were kept in my parent's bedroom. Whenever my dad was gone on business trips my mom had me sleep in her bedroom. When I was around 10 my dad said enough was enough and "moved" me to my bedroom.

My mom is still kind of weirdly emotionally attached to me. I think its some kind of disorder, but I could be wrong.

Is your Mom an only child?

No, she has a sister who is a year younger than her. She also had a younger brother (by about 10 years), but he got killed in a gun accident age 16. Not sure what kind of effect his death had on her, I've never heard anybody really talk about it.

I think the brother incident is a big flag. The age difference made it so it was not a traditional brother/sister relationship (i.e. more motherly due to her ability to take care of him from the outset of his life). I think she clings to you because she is deathly afraid of losing you the way she lost her little baby brother.

just my psych 101 analysis. Take it for what it is worth (which aint much...)
 
what is her past like? was she abandoned as a kid?? someone already mentioned that maybe your dad beats her!!

be a man and have a talk with her about her feelings, she is your mom dude!!

That makes a lot of since. I'm close to the age that her brother died and I even look kind of like him.

However, it still bothers me that she takes no interest in my life.
