Im not the type of person to bring up "mommy issues" on a forum, or bring them up at all, but this is way too out of hand.
Im 19, still living with her, hoping to move out next year when I wrap things up with the community college and move onto bigger, better things in Embry Riddle.
Okay, well, allow me to introduce myself. Im a ROTC sargeant, I have a 3.9, I play 3, count them, 3 sports, and seen more education in elementary school than my mother has seen in a lifetime.
I work hard, very very hard, and this is my "rewarding" life:
-Im not allowed to have a safe, Im not allowed to even have a lock on my door.
-She abused me when I was little, smacked me around, called me names, was never, and I MEAN NEVER, 'motherly' towards me, now she doesnt do any of that but she tries to control my life
- She'll take the car away if I "sass" her, like Im a little kid, and I PAID for that car, down payment, insurance, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS
Now lets introduce Ms. Neurotic Weirdo to infantilism
When she finds a diaper under my bed, she :
1) calls up every immediate family member: my brother, aunt, father, and blabs my business
2) mocks me, imitates me and teases me constantly
3) tells me how "socially rejected" I am. Let me put it this way, Im too busy to party, at least this year.
She tells me that Im going to start 'subconsciously' distancing myself away from people.
4) She tells me that Im gonna turn out a freak if I keep this up
5) She tells me Im a pedophile
6) She tells me I need legal help
7) She takes the car away
8) She tells me I have brain damage
9) She tells me the people I talk to about this are maladapted weirdos and are freaks of society (Ill give you her liscence plate number if you wanna slash her tires)
10) She tries to convince people, my brother, father, aunt, etc, people who respect me (or USED to respect me, rather) to talk to me, but they want no parts of the argument.
Now I feel sick to my stomach about the whole thing. I feel like a weirdo. I feel if I were to quit infantilism, Id be lonely and miserable inside, I feel like I kept growing mentally and physically that I was so smart and strong but my emotional side got left behind and stayed as a little baby. If I were to stop, Id feel dead inside, like I have nothing left. I never even had a childhood, I never even had a mother that loved me like "normal" people do.
And she doesnt understand that....
