Students, Parents and Harassment: Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

By notcool - 15/09/2009 19:45 - United States

Today, I learned that my anxious and obsessive mother is going to drive three hours every weekend to attend a Johns Hopkins medical course on stress reduction. Why is this bad? I just left home for college and have enjoyed my last two weeks of freedom without her around. I attend Johns Hopkins. FML

Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML

Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML

Today, I told my mom about the severe phobia I've developed towards driving. She was very supportive and even made me an appointment to see a psychologist. His office is two hours away. I have to drive to see my doctor about my fear of driving. FML

Today, I’m an adult and my mother lives with me, not me with her. She found out I was going to be gone for 9 days on vacation and that she couldn’t come, so she had a “mental break down” and checked herself into a psych ward. Last year, she did the same thing when I graduated college and celebrated it. FML

Today, I got offered a ride to go home for the weekend. I go to college six hours away from home and haven't seen my family for almost two months. When I called my mom with the good news, she told me not to come. FML

Today, my mom came home and told me she was going back to college. She's going to the community college that a lot of the graduates from my school go to. She has biology with my ex. They're lab partners and have to do take home labs together. FML

Today, my anxious, obsessive, overbearing mother called me four times. That's significantly less than usual. When I complained to my dad, he said, "She just worries about you because she loves you." I don't feel loved, I feel smothered. FML

Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML

Today, I got a lecture from my mother about how bad my stress has been, how I have to treat myself better and do something with my life. She still doesn't realize that most of the cause of my stress has been from her berating me about how stressed out I am. FML

Today, my mother continues to copy everything I do. So far, she's switched to seeing my doctor, my therapist, my hairdresser, and even shopping at my preferred supermarket. I've lived independently for ten years, but I'm starting to fear for my safety. FML

Ah, that does suck. Hopefully she won't pop into your dorm or something. That would be embarrassing.

So, is she going to bunk down with you? Did you let her know that her study of stress reduction is ironically causing you a massive stress elevation? (Where was she when Alanis Morissette was writing music?) It could work out for the best, Mom can be a great wingman. She can go up to any woman you want, strike up a conversation and then bring you in and ask, "Have you met my son?" And then you're off to the races (at Pimlico, of course). Now that you are in Baltimore, you can take chicks out to Ft. McHenry, where the "Star-Spangled Banner" was written, and show them your ramparts.

Kinda, yeah. Work is slow right now, but a bunch of new people are coming in to town around the first of October so I should be getting busy then. I hope to still post comments a lot, but I won't be able to engage in a lot of the fun back-and-forth. Plus, I have some insomnia, so I'll pop up in the middle of the night and come here. Enjoy me while you can.

I'm not leaving, Toxi, but I might not be able to leave these sub-comments during working hours. I still plan to check in a couple times a day to post some top-level comments. I'll still keep in touch with some special people. ;)
