Let me start by saying I’m an only child from a single parent household. My mom is also an only child.

Over the course of the last four or so years, I went from being introverted and chronically home to always out and about with friends to keep me company.

I moved out about 2 years ago and things have been spiraling ever since:

Situation: My mom and I talk a lot through the week but there have been days where I not exactly on the mood for talking, because of exhaustion or just being busy

Her response: Calls me crying, thinking that I’m upset with her.

Situation: I was hanging out with friends after a gym class. I had plans with my mom for dinner after. The restaurant opens at 4:00p and closes at 10p. I arrive at her place at 5 pm.

Her response: Swears I don’t want to be with her.

Situation: Helping a friend study for a practical exam and ending out staying late.

Her response: calls me repeatedly at 1 am begging me to go home. Tried telling her my feelings about it but I was called selfish.

There’s a part of me that thinks something is off but need further input.
