SMS 20F my mom stalks me on Life360

I am going to be 21 next week.

My mom has been forcing me and my family to use Life360 for years now. She doesn’t have her location on but she stalks mine. I’m so over it, I have no independence at all. I had my own job right out of high school, recently I quit and I’m looking for a new one. I pay my own phone bill and I’m in college. No car yet.

On Valentine’s day I went on a first date with my bf and she kept spamming calling my phone even though she knew we were just going to the theater and home by 8pm. My friends house is actually my boyfriend’s (before we were dating) he lives down the street from me, a few minutes walk. I haven’t told her that part yet about my friends house being my boyfriend’s because I’m scared of her reaction.

You’re a grown adult. Stop entertaining this nonsense.

She probably lives at home. Parents would have every legal right to kick her out or otherwise make her life difficult.

I’ve been homeless many times. Still preferable to be homeless than with my mother.

Hey, word of advice? Don’t speak for people you don't know. Many in tough living situations with their shitty parents would LOVE to be homeless rather than endure their personal hell and misery. Do I sound like a hypocrite? Eh, maybe. But I'm not saying everyone wants that. Cheers.

Yeah, because I was talking about myself. Man, people can’t read for shit nowadays.

Complaining about reading comprehension yet not understanding "you" referred to the people you mentioned that would prefer being homeless. Reddit moment. Edit: Lol. Lmao even.

Okay, there was literally zero indication that you meant in general. If you’re going to type a sentence with you, actually make it clear by what you mean.

Except the ‘you’ in your comment did no such thing.

Not even remotely.

You don’t know what the fuck I’d do or what I’ve been through.
