Congrats TexasChic on the new crib! This is a great step for you. beautiful curtains are just the first...you will have so much fun making the place "yours".
Sounded like your 'mother' wanted to get just a few more jabs in before you were completely out. can relate to 'controlling' (and what i might say as verbally abusive) mother, and although you can put on that tough skin it still hurts. Just remember we got your back! it's ok to be hurt by this, just don't let it rule you.
and you ARE your own person, and she Only controls as much as you let her. You are a STRONG Beautiful woman, all you've been through and you are standing strong! (in your very own place i might add!)
We Love you.-and so does that grandmother of yours. Now speaking from experience, my grandmother can lay guilt from 100 miles away and all she has to say is "hello"! i think that's part of being a grandmother, but they are wonderful. And yours sounds like she's just adjusting to the move as well, she's used to having her granddaughter around and taking care of her. many grandparents can't even say their grandkids visit, so i'm sure that's made her quite proud. She will miss you, but your not moving to Spain. and you can visit her as much as you (notice i say YOU and not HER) want or need to.
And don't even think twice about not doing it sooner. Hindsight's always 20/20. you did this when it was right for you.
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!B2c.
