Time for some therapeutic tumbling....

My Mom wants me to move home and go to school at CSU Stanislaus (a local school with a very high acceptance rate…) after graduation. Why am I getting all this PRESSURE to move home?????????

1)I have been living in San Diego for FOUR years on my own. And I have been going to UC San Diego (a great school!) for these four years.

2)I didn’t APPLY to Stan for grad school for next year. I am not sure my Mom understands that you can’t just GO to grad school.

3)I don’t know what I would even go to grad school for.

4)If I can’t find a job in Seattle, what makes anyone think that I can get a job in Oakdale/Modesto.

Now I feel totally guilty, like I am letting my parents down or something for not coming home…why can’t they understand that I am 22 years old and have been living on my own and that it is time to get life started on my own…not move home. I also feel like I am betraying them for moving to Seattle to be with bf…like I am choosing a boy over my family or something.

Has anyone else had this problem?
