My relationship with my mom has been decaying for quite a while, she became a little over exaggerated and maybe a little overprotective.
She’s very loving and maybe I just was okay with it bc Latino parents, but I feel like I might be holding a grudge.
There were times that I would come late home and she’ll still be awake bc she couldn’t sleep until I got home and like would get not really angry but annoyed. That was just when I was a teen and I honestly don’t care it happened now bc I’m free to do as I want and she understands but I do like to communicate if I’m gonna be late just I would do with someone I care.
The thing that it might bother me a bit is that she’ll be like one of those in telenovelas where everything is exaggerated so if anything serious were to happen to her I’d be like ah whatever bc of this over exaggerating background bear in mind my mom wasn’t like this.
—Now the third one bc I want to get better and this pains me honestly, these two examples have kinda severed our bond. I no longer tell her stuff. I kinda grew up where my mom would be very independent and she’ll enjoy her time, but the tide is changing she’s getting older into I think the grandma state of mind. I’m on the phase of exploring my world. But now she’s at home and I feel she might be alone, she no longer has hobbies or something and is always on the phone.
Sometimes I’ll be eating and she’ll just sit there with me, and this overly pressure or energy makes feel weird and I just want to finish and leave. This is really terrible of me, but she just might be holding me too much with her energy, see grandma state I believe.
But as we are home now, I don’t spend time w her. I just feel like if I was the only one for her. I wish my brother and his family were here so this pressurized energy would fade and I can give the love that she deserves but he doesn’t live here in the us so is up to me.
Tldr; I need advice to better my relationship with my mom
