I am 26 and on my own now, however mother feels the need to exert control over the way I live my life to this day. Over every part of my life, she exerts control, or tries. I live with two physical disabilities and am a single mother of an eight-month-old son, and a lot of the time I just cannot get everything done in the course of a day. Well, holy heck, if everything is not clean and perfectly neat she goes on and on about how I am not living my life properly and about how I am going to get my child taken away for not being perfectly clean. She puts me down for not being perfect; she goes on about empty formula cans on the counter. She goes on about how I have not swept and mopped the floor. She tells me how I should spend my money and puts me down for buying my child toys. She undermines my parenting by continuing to do things like curse in front of the baby. She even says she will do what she wants with regard to the baby and does not care what I think!
