Hey, Y'all. Could I get some hugs and encouragement from those dealing with crazy, unsupportive moms??

A little back story, my mother has never really been supportive of my decisions or my dreams. She has been the original helicopter mom, doing reports for me before I had the chance, typing all of my papers before I could, and generally comandeering all of my decisions. She used to waffle back and forth between heli and neglect. Over my 44 years in her presence, I have learned to just agree to keep the peace and do what I want later; flying under the radar as it were.

Flash forwards to yesterday and she texts me that she has an application for the local diner for me. The boss has finally gotten desperate enough that he will hire me for the hours she said I am available and the app is only red tape. I really don't know who she gaslit into doing this, but it bothers me that she would still try to force my hand.

Mind, I JUST opened the commissions side of my Ko-fi shop on 1Jan. She was not happy about this and has been on me to "get a real job". She has never wanted to see me succeed, but this is a little ridiculous.

My dilemma is thus, do I go tomorrow morning and explain this to the owner, or do I wait until I have the actual application in hand and turn it in blank with the explaination as to why?

Honestly, this is just another one of her attempts to undermine my decisions and make me doubt my ability to do anything on my own. Like she did when I got married and when we bought this house.

I'm sorry to rant and ramble, but I'm just a little disgusted at her, for the moment.
