There's people out there with way bigger parental problems than me.. like I had a friend who got kicked out of home when he was 13.
So independence isn't the problem. It's all about developing myself, and trying to overcome the bad habits / thought patterns I picked up from my mother. Because I plan to be more with my life than be a paranoid jellyfish, and I'm going to need to be more confident to achieve my goals... |
I am not even questioning your independence. Just saying to act as if you were the person you want to become. Step into their shoes.
