So, I am 17 years old and have been living overseas for 10 years. I left my home country when I was 7, and have had the chance to see my friends when we go back for summer vacation. I have perfect grades, and already got accepted into university, and had never had a boyfriend. My mom has always been controlling, like prohibiting me to talk to people just because she did not like them. One summer,when I went back, I met a guy. Him and I have been close friends and every summer and she knows that, because I always talk about him., and every summer I went back that we were always together. Him and I really liked each other, but we never had the chance to have a relationship because of the distance. We suffered a lot, but we always kept in touch. Last summer, I went back and met with him, and we were just kissing and he gave me a hickey. I immediately was furious because I knew my mom would kill me. I tried to cover it with makeup but my mom still saw it. She did not say much about it, because I told her I have never had one before and I didn’t know you could get one so easily so these are experiences I learn from. She stopped talking about it but every time I went out with him she would say “oh you are going with the hickey guy again ?” “ you want another hickey huh”I don’t think she should judge him just by that fact. We are young, I have never had a serious boyfriend and I want to live my adolescence since I didn’t have a chance to live it like I wanted to abroad. So these days I got the news that we would be moving back to my country forever, and I also would start university there so that means I would settle down. I am moving back in 2 months, so I told that guy I like, Sam, that I would move back. He couldn’t believe it and was extremely happy, so we video called and talked. He said he would wait for me and that finally, after 5 years that we were talking, we could be together. But then when I was video calling, my mom was watching from the corner. She came in and loudly so that he could hear said: what the he** are you doing? Making plans with that stupid guy so that he can keep giving you hickeys? You know that as soon as we are going back we are gonna move right? So say goodbye to your plans because I’m ruining them. As soon as she started talking I hung up obviously, I did not want him to hear those rude words. I told her she’s being immature, and even if I had a daughter I would not have done that to her. I told her that I am a teenager, I wanna live my life, And that im almost 18 years old and she has to live with the fact that I’m growing up now. She continued and said that she decides in this house who I can talk to or not, and that we will be moving immediately because she doesn’t want me to date those kinds of guys. So I told her that even if we move I can still go see my friends though because I can take the train. She said yeah, you can go see them like, one time a month, that’s good. She screamed at me to be quiet and not answer her back and threatened to hit me. obviously I’m not going to see my friends only one time a month because I’m going to be homeschooling for the rest of 2018 until June since we are moving back, and would have no friends or anything to do the whole day in the new city. I have considered talking to my dad about this, he is super chill and normally thinks my mom is over protective, he also wants me to live my life and get out of the house and have fun. So if anything goes wrong, I will talk to my dad. I just would want to have my freedom since overseas I did not have a “teenager life” and now she’s already ruining it by making me move away from my friends that I have not actually been able to spend time with for 10 years. I thought this would be a good opportunity, but no. How do I make her stop all this controlling and get her to let me see my friends or talk to him? Thanks...
