My mom apologized to me a LOT and said how sorry she was for the words she used. She started crying and told me that she just worries about me and just wants me to be happy. I told her that I'd be a lot happier if she accepted me and my choices. She admits that its hard to see her baby girl being a mom, even still. I have been seeing a therapist for depression, and Im going to get my mom to go with me next time and talk with her together and try to work out stuff. It wont be easy but I love my mom and I know she loves me, even if she has a hard time showing it. I wont be moving in with them now, because i feel that its best for me to not be in that situation, but us working on our relationship is a big step. Thanks for all the support everyone!

That's great that you're working things out, and I think you're making a really good decision by still not moving in with them.

I'm so glad your mom apologized. You really seem to need her support right now. I also think you are making the right choice not moving in with them. It sounds like your mom is working through a lot of emotions about it all right now, and you don't need pressures from her to do things that you don't want to do. I remember living with my mom after my daughter was born, and I hated how controlled I felt by her. She even verbally abused me in front of my brand new baby, loudly enough to make her cry. You don't need to deal with anything like that. Good luck finding your own place! I'm so glad your sister is there for you.

I am glad!! I hope everything works out and you find a GREAT place on your own when you can. Living with parents can be good at times but can be horrible at times!! Good luck!!

I'm so glad to hear this!!!

I'm really proud of you for getting counseling, I hope it's helping you work through some of the feelings that all the negative things in your life have been causing.

I really hope your mom will go with you, having a good relationship with your mom can be a great source of support and love.

I'm glad to hear, thanks for the update!! It is probably best that you're now moving in with them, from what I've heard. Good luck with your mom!
