Justus! Please Help Me Make Up My Mind!!!
I feel like I am going in circles recently. I have had my mother and boyfriend yell at one another. They never have got along. I feel I must choose between them. Mom says that my boyfriend is too much of a negative influence and brings out the worst in me. My boyfriend says that mom is only saying this because I am 20 and moved out and she is still trying to be controlling over me.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years. He is the reason I dropped out of college because I wanted to live with him and we didn’t have the money for me to continue going to college. I still plan on going back and my boyfriend says that he will help pay for my classes even if he has to work 2 jobs. But, it has been a year now and he still works at the same low paying job and not looking for another. I have taken up a job as a waitress just to pay our bills.
My mother is controlling, she told me if I still lived with her, then I couldn’t see my boyfriend anymore. She wants me to get my teaching degree and that's all. I am not supposed to hang out with friends or have any fun. She thinks I should always be studying.
I want to be a teacher, I want a good relationship with my mother, and I want to be loved.
What is your opinion on this matter please?
Longing to Teach

Hello Ms. Teacher,
True indeed your mother still treats you like a child and probably always will. But she loves you. She wants to see you do good in life. Now she sees an inhibitor, your boyfriend, in your life that is making you promises that you nor him know he can't make good on. Instead he puts you against your own mother who mean you no harm so he can continue to please his flesh with you. You are going to look back at these fighting moments between them and say this was your turning point, for bad or for good. Usually when something weigh heavy on your heart like this there is meaning. If you just want to squash the arguing, best bet go back to your mom's where rules are beneficial and not with your unwed boyfriend where promises are empty.
