I am currently once again attempting this journey to find some happiness and not letting my mom’s control and guilt trips get a hold of me:
Your time is too valuable to go through life letting people control you and letting people put you on a guilt trip. Take control of your happiness. – Joel Osteen

Good! 🙂 You, depending on your circumstance, may need to completely sever your connection with your controlling mother. I did so with my dominating parents and it was a wise, life-changing, liberating, beautiful thing for me. You don’t “have to get married” to leave; get a nice, new roommate or some wonderful pets and find true happiness. 🙂

I agree, it will definitely be life-changing. I’m in the process of searching for an apartment but the process is proving to be harder than I thought, especially because renting apartments are expensive (more expensive than buying a house) and I don’t really have the funds to move out at the moment. Eventually though, I know I’ll find one.

Ask around at work and such and maybe you can find someone nice to share an apartment with and cut the costs. Just be sure that they are not nutty! Or ask around about good deals on a place. If you shop around and ask around you may find something not as expensive (and nice). Stick at it! 🙂
