I know my mom loved me, but she was a terrible enabler too. She'd comment to me how heavy I was getting, but she'd be the one who brought over the coffee cake for my wife and I and that was even before we had children with which to share it. She was heavy and I think she never quite got it all figured out in her head, so she kind of gave me mixed messages too. I'm with Paul's idea. You don't have to be nasty to the folks, but at 22, it's cool to start considering moving out on your own or with a friend...
Anyway, use this site to rant all you wish. We're here for you and many have walked in similar experiences with similar moccasins.
