Girl, what your mom said to you is not okay. That comment is straight up emotional abuse. I'm thinking maybe your mom is just jealous of you, you know? If I were you, I'd consider moving in with your dad if he's a safe and supportive option. You're still young, and you've got your whole life ahead of you! Don't let her bring you down.

I didn't get married till I was 30, and I was with my partner since we were 17. We just lived life, you know? I don't think women should rush into marriage or having kids in their 20s unless they truly know themselves and have accomplished their goals.

Your mom might be jealous that you're living your life on your terms and not focused on pleasing others, especially men. Maybe she had a different experience growing up and now she's trying to control yours. Why isn't she still with your dad, anyway?

The thing is, sweetie, you get to live your life the way you want. As long as you're a good person and do good, nobody should judge you. Keep doing you, boo! 💪

Babe, your mom's expectations aren't the blueprint for your life. She's dealing with her own fears and projecting them onto you. Once you internalize that, her words won't hurt so much. You're on your own path, and it's gonna be amazing. You'll figure out what works for you, and when you're ready, you'll share that journey with someone who values you as an equal. Sending you love and luck 💗

😂😂😂 Girl, I can relate! My mom used to be super traditional too, but I had to school her, lol! Now she's my biggest cheerleader, and she's obsessed with how I've built an amazing career. She's all about empowering women and living life on our own terms. She's so proud I prioritized myself and my goals over societal expectations. It's like she's seen the light, and now she's all about spreading the gospel of independence, haha!

Babe, being a wife and mom isn't the ultimate goal, you know? Your worth isn't tied to your relationship status or whether you have kids. Don't let your mom make you feel like it is. You do you, boo! Focus on what makes YOU happy.

My pops raised me, and he always said I could do anything I wanted. Never once did he say it had to involve a husband or kids, haha! I chose those things later, but I spent my 20s and 30s building myself up, getting an education, crushing my career goals, and just living my best life.

Honestly, if I had to do it all over, I might not choose marriage or kids. I'm not your traditional wife or mom, and that's A-okay. You shouldn't feel less than for choosing your own path, either. Own it, girl! 💪

Girl, I know, right?! Your mom sounds like she was stuck in a time warp, haha! I'm not surprised, though some people just don't know no better, lol! But you, you're gonna do GREAT things! You're gonna live your life on your terms, and that's all that matters.

I'm 60, and I've always been about doing my own thing. I grew up seeing women breaking barriers, burning bras, and running their own shows, haha! My grandma was a boss lady, too divorced, own house, own business... she was IT! You come from a line of strong women, whether you know it or not!

Just focus on YOU, girl! Get that education, get that job, and do what makes YOU happy. Don't let nobody bring you down, and don't get caught up in no drama, 'kay? Birth control is your BFF, and it's super easy to get, so you do you, boo! You got this!

Girl, I'm shook that your mom is still living in the Stone Age, haha! But you, you're gonna break free and live your best life, right?!

I'm 60, and I've always been a rebel, lol! I grew up seeing women doing their thing, burning bras and kicking butt! My grandma was a boss lady, divorced with her own house and business she was goals!

You focus on you, boo! Get that education, get that job, and do what makes you happy! Don't let nobody bring you down, and don't get pregnant, haha! Birth control is your BFF, and it's super easy to get. You got this, girl!

Girl, I'm like 40 years older than you, and let me tell you, my mom's still on my case, haha! I bailed at 18, but I know it's tougher now. If you can swing it, moving in with your dad might be a good move some space from your mom sounds like a blessing, tbh.

Listen, I used to struggle with self-confidence, and trust me, it's hard when your parent's putting you down all the time. You gotta stop beating yourself up over it, 'kay? It's not you, it's them. You'll have to work a bit harder to get that confidence, but you got this! You're strong, you're capable, and you deserve to live your best life.

Sending you lots of love and luck, kiddo! ❤️

Babe, your mom's words are really getting under your skin, and I'm so sorry about that 😔. She's tearing you down, and that's not okay.

You are an amazing individual with your own interests and passions, and collecting dolls is just one of them! There's nothing wrong with it, and you're not alone lots of women enjoy it, no matter their age.

You need to find a way to tune her out, boo. Her criticism says more about her than it does about you. Have you thought about talking to a trusted family friend or your grandparents about how you're feeling? They might be able to offer some support and guidance.

You're 18, girl, you're basically an adult! You have the power to make your own decisions. Have you considered moving in with your dad? Or maybe looking into colleges far, far away? You could also get a job and start saving up for your own place. The world is your oyster, and you deserve to live life on your terms 💖.

You are enough, just as you are. Don't let anyone, including your mom, make you feel otherwise. You're young, and things will get better. Hang in there, and know that you're not alone 👍🏼❤️.

Girl, I'm 33, got a hubby, and a bun in the oven! 😊 I'm a case manager for the elderly at a non-profit, and I'm living my best life, ya know? Not rich, but comfortable, and I love lending a helping hand.

Anyway, my mom called me a "disappointment" and said I'd be stuck in mediocrity. This was 3 years ago, though I've been ghosting her since, haha! It's wild how some parents got these crazy expectations, right? If you don't fit their mold of "womanhood," you're a failure.

But you, girl, you're amazing! You're doing you, and that's all that matters. Collecting dolls, going to the beach, having a kind bf... that's all awesome! If I had a daughter like you, I'd be beaming!

It's not you, boo, it's them. Our moms are the problem, but we can be the solution. We gotta protect our hearts, set boundaries, and be different. You deserve so much better than that toxic energy.

Sending you all the love, and I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this. You've cried, you've felt anxious, you've grieved... and I'm so sorry about that. But you are valued, you are lovely, and you are enough. May you find your tribe, and may you always know you're not alone. ❤️
