Girl, I’ve been there! When I was 22 I was living at home and it was a horror show….
Two words: MOVE OUT! (or at least have a plan to)
I know you’re probably like, “rents are too high” or “saving money makes sense” and the thing is, yes, saving money does make sense, so maybe if you can’t move out right now–MAKE. A. PLAN. Tell yourself, 3 more months, and that’s it. Something like that. And realize that during those months, you’re just not going to have a life. Or at least not the one you want just yet.
Your parents will always see you as their little girl. Always. No matter what. I think to save your sanity and your relationship with your parents, you HAVE to have a plan to move out. Your mother sounds super dramatic (mine was the same way) so I’m not sure there’s much talking to sense to them. But you’re an adult now, and you can make your own choices as to what’s best for your life.
This too shall pass, girl. Promise! I lived at home for two whole years with literally like FBI parents before I moved out, and I lived to tell. You will too!
Good luck!
