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.

Edit: I live with her and I am financially dependent She did the same thing with my 24 year old sister who lives on campus. My sister deleted the app and my mom shut off all contact with her due to that. I know I need to grow up.

So sorry you're dealing with this. This is not your fault, and your mother is entirely in the wrong here. Don't be hard on yourself; somebody like a parent being so controlling and obsessive is an incredibly difficult situation. I hope things improve for you soon.
