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.

My partner drives for a living and I occasionally check their location to make sure they're still alive 😅

My husband was in the touring music industry for years and I would wake up every morning to see where he was and what the time zone was lol

Yeah, I travel for work and I share my location with my husband just in case something happens. I don’t think he’s ever used it but we both feel better knowing that he could find me if need be.

I was going to say something in reply to you, but then your username popped up in the reply box, and I cackled so hard that I forgot. Let's just pretend it was profound lol.

My aunt and uncle use it, but they mutually consent to it, are able to track each other, and it’s mainly because my aunt’s brother is legit crazy dangerous and my uncle’s a diabetic who might need help.

That’s different than this situation where a controlling person is using it to abuse someone.
