Mrah, my mom is by far the most close-minded and controlling person in this world. She calls me at 12am last night telling me that she wasn't getting along with her sister and that I wasn't going to Atlanta to see her anymore, and if I didn't come home instead, she wasn't going to give me the money that I needed. So I calmly told her, "mom, your relationship with Aunt Kim doesn't determine mine with her, and I am not skipping out on the trip. I already have a plane ticket" And pretty much she responded with, "Shannon, you may be 21, but your still dependent, so you don't have that freedom to make those choices, I don't care if you have a plane ticket, she can afford it" and blah blah blah, "if you choose to go there, don't come home at all." So I said "Okay, I won't come home (which is actually great to me, haha) and if you want me to, I'll become independent, dependence doesn't benefit me, it benefits you on insurance!" And after I hung up, I called my Aunt and told her to switch the departing flight from Pensacola to Tallahassee and talked to her about what happened.... and how exciting is it that I know get to fly back into Tallahasse and see Christian instead of waiting 8 days and staying at home to endure hell. So maybe I'll have to become a part time student and take two more years to finish up school. But you know, anything is worth giving up to achieve freedom from the wrath of Sheila.
