Thread: I feel lonely

I grew up with a single mother and being the only girl I was always the centre of her attention, and therefore she became my best friend over the years.

I am now grownup, educated and married, however, I really feel like she is manipulating me. Whether it's my school, career or life choices she seems to be steering me in the direction
that she wants.

She used to be my best friend but ever since i got married she is not happy with me and is constantly nagging at me for not wanting to go to medical school.
For goodness sakes, people change.

I have a university degree in Mathematics and I want to get another in Arts. When i told her this, the first thing out of her mouth was, " there are tons of history teachers out there"

I mean how there you? I have paid for my first degree myself and now i am married, would it hurt for you to give me some support?

I feel so lonely because my brothers are both grown up and i can't trust them with anything since they will go straight to her and ruin me. And ofcourse talking to her is impossible. I dont have any close friends and even if i did it wouldnt be wise to tell them everything about my life.

Truth is I feel so lonely now. I mean my husband and I do go through some minor marriage problems and i really miss talking to someone. I miss my mom but i cant talk to her anymore at the cost of her judging me and my life. I have no one to ask for adivce.

Sometimes i feel i am about to burst and it hurts.
