Question - (4 June 2023) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female Australia age 26-29, anonymous writes:

For many years I have been very anxious and depressed regarding my mothers behaviour. I have spoken to psychologists about it and they say I should focus on trying to get to where I need to be and move out so I do not feel the way I do. I went back to studying because I hated the career I had chosen, but my mother does not like this idea and just wants me to get a full time job.

I feel like she hides a lot of secrets from me, she is entitled to keep stuff to herself, but I get very anxious if it is about me. I currently still live with her while I am studying and working part-time. She keeps her secrets to herself but asks me so many questions about my personal life, like how much money I earn from my employment, and what tax I get back, who I talk to on the phone and even comes into my room to take a little snoop. There was a time when she asked me if she could track me on her phone using an app, and I said no because that was very weird. She just smiled and said it would be interesting for her to see where I go.

She is retiring very soon, and I am happy for her, but she treats me like I am not even here. I feel so small, I try spending time with her but she does not seem to want to chat to me. I've never had any ill intentions towards my mother but I feel like she hates me for some reason. I just sense some very ill intentions from her and I want to find out what it is. I had made mention to her about her behaviour but she says she is tired but I do not truly believe that, she keeps going back on things she had said in the past. One time she slapped me in the face, and she says she does not remember it. Another time she was discussing my plan to get a full-time job and said she would start charging rent at 30 years, which I was fine with but now she has said that was not what she said. I do not trust her

Currently, I am working on studying, working part-time at a great company and want to work on other things, like educating myself about finances and other areas in life that was never taught to me. I wanted to also put my hobbies to go use and make a little extra cash on the side.
