It's time to stop the engine two seconds, take a few steps back, and see what you want fixed in your life. And then do it. Is your mother invalid? Can she take care of herself?

What she's doing is holding you hostage. Guilt tripping you. But you know that of course. So, the question is rather how long do you want to allow this?

P.S. How old are you?

P.P.S. Every man eventually has to face his mother and cut the "umbilical cord".

28, however we live in a very expensive town. You don't see too many people, even around my age, finding a single room for less than $1700-2000 a month.

Okay, but that sounds like rationalizing, to be honest. You can look for roommates. You can live a bit further away from town. Try to think in terms of solutions rather than defending an unhealthy situation.

May I suspect and say she is seeing you like her provider? My guess is your dad isn't around? In her mind, she may have swapped him for you. You became her husband. You are now suffering the woes of a married man, but you never married your mother. Of course not. You never asked for this. She is trapping you because she is scared of seeing you leave. Because she can't face her reality?

Does that hit close to home, or not?

Get the hell out of there. As long as you're living there you will have this problem.

Seriously, 28 and still living with mom, and you wonder what the problem is? By 28 I was making six figures... in 1990s money.

Only thing I can suggest is find another place to live.

Don't come from a place of anger when talking with her. She'll sense it if you do. Come from a place of reason and strength. The fact that she treats you like this is your ultimately your fault. She feels comfortable enough to be this controlling, so you've got to set boundaries Now, take care of business, put her in her place, and don't whine about it. If she continues to bitch, move out. Do it quietly and with class. Best of luck, brother.

Nowhere in that does it leave time for shit I really don't want to deal with or conversations I have no interest in. I pay half the rent (begrudgingly so) because if I didn't she'd be in a really tight fucking spot,

Leave. I was there once and it's not worth it. Living on your own is key. You can't have women fucking with your life, pushing at your soul.

Leave

This post.. Is this like, how the internal dialogue of your mind sounds? Something is just really off about this... I can't quite put my finger on it. It's this weird vibe, like the person who wrote it came out of a gamepro ad for a psx game.

I'm the other way around from you my friend. I live at home with my pops and half my check does go for helping him out. I couldn't stand his girl when was staying with us for a weekend. He told me after she left.. "I like her.. But I love my freedom more.".. "I agree father."

His girl was a harpy .. Pushing me to do this or do that. Assigning me shit to do on my days off... Gun loading sound

In FACT my aunts blamed my father for my failure to launch. Back in the day I used to dread that if something happened to my parents I'd have to go live with them. Now dont get me wrong their cool.. For the weekend.. Then that's it. All the demanding shit women do. The "boss bitch" bullshit. Fuck.

Op I say.. Gtfo or just go numb with them and don't stir up anything. My hearts out to you. I'll have a cold one for ya!

How do I handle it?

I have boundaries set which they know about. If they cross them knowingly, I, with appropriate enthusiasm, let them know.

With that said, I live away from my parents. Much easier.

I pay half the rent

In the place where you live? What an outrage!
