Posted by Anonymous on 2013/06/08 under Uncategorized I have grown up with a single mother and I am now 22 years old. I have finally had enough of her constant manipulative behavior and negativity. I sincerely feel that she has a mental illness so I am constantly on pins and needles with no way to convince her to get help. She has no idea, but ever since highschool I have been looking forward to the day when I am fully idependent and never have to see her again. She will be an alone and bitter old woman and I do not feel even slightly bad about that.
