Hi Deneb,
The Joy Luck Club is a great movie by Amy Tan. The 2nd time I watched it with my daughter. We agreed that we could sob & cry loudly if necessary. It was a 26 Kleenex movie!!!!!!!!!!
My Mom died when I was 23 & watching it with my dotter & having the sadness that Mom & L would never meet each other was rather wrenching.
It's a movie about Mothers & daughters. It's worth watching.
I cringed when I read what your Mom said. I don't know how old you are; if your have siblings and/or a Dad in the picture. It seemed your Mom is terrified of losing control over you. Sorry - don't mean to insult you or her, but I did cringe when I read what she said.
You're very capable. I wonder if you've been made to feel that you AREN'T capable. You're really braver than I had thought to have made the trip!!!! The fact that you're even thinking of going to California is an amazing thing!!!!
I forsee a good life for you. I think you're a butterfly still inside the crysallis - starting to stretch & push your way out.
Online friends are a good way to start to learn about having friends, I think. Have you ever had "in-the-flesh" friends? You might decide to one day...who knows. Well anyway, now you have in-the-flesh friends who you're interacted with in person!!! Your PB friends.
(((((((((((((((you)))))))))))))))
hugs, Kath
