my mom want me to work full time at my workplace 9 am to 10 pm October 20 this year. I remember she tell me she will let me do that for two weeks and worry my blood pressure will be like my mom how she have to work overtime. I no longer work part time. But now she say she did NOT say it, I have doubt does she really lie to me or she genuinely forgot about it, or change her mind? I don’t know. After she left my upstairs room, i was able to cry alone because I was raised and used to be told by both my parents, it is weak. I shouldn’t do this, I’m stupid, an animal, ect.
but it’s she just don’t want me to retire late age 60 like her. she will retire in next three years from now. My dad already retired years ago and technically separated from mom, not official divorce, he left back his hometown Vietnam because of emotional abuse happen between him and mom, and me sometimes in the past. she want me retire age 30 in Michigan where I live. I didn’t believe it could be possible to do that if I guess make more money and all that. At the same time, she knows I want to discern religious life, religious sister/nun. I sure she can’t force me to not do so. she is not Catholic. She sure I will be living alone after she do so. I’m always only child. I don’t think I am allowed to tell everyone I knew or my mom’s friends how I really feel about it. They all knew what will happen around October 20. Then there something In My gut tell me ask st Michael and guardian angel for help and strength for my mind and soul, not just my bodily needs.
