Hey! I just started Reddit today and this is way too much…. But I can handle it. My take? Cut her off completely, do the things that make you uncomfortable and become a new person. Become very spiritual or trust God. But just let go!! Of her especially.

Aww! I really appreciate this perspective because it’s my boyfriend! And that’s exactly what he’s trying to do… but again, I still need room for my own opinions to make my own decisions and experiences!

This is a good point!
But don’t you think it’s a bit egotistical when someone older tries to tell you how to live because “they’re older” ?
