She wants what she THINKS is best for me, because it would be best for her if she were in my situation. She doesn't bother to ask what I think would be best for me, or even what I actually want, regardless of whether it's "best for me" or not. My mom has no concept of what it's like to be self-sufficient, to make her own decisions, to not have to get a seond opinion, to not have to worry about what someone else thinks. She has a 1950's mindset, absolutely.
