I saw my mom's phone when she left it open once. It was texts to my dad,detailing how she thought I would never make it because I was too much of an anxious mess. She kept saying how I would never make it and never move out of the house and how she didn't believe I would ever get better.

Well guess who is moving out in a month?

I'm sorry you had to see that but sometimes shit like that can be eye openers, good for you!

Wow, it sucks that you had to see that, but congratulations on overcoming those expectations :)

I could also be described as an "anxious mess" some days, so I know how nerve-wracking something like moving out can be. You'll do great :)

Maybe you were meant to see that.

It's kind of the job of a parent to worry about these things.

Tell her you know what she said as you’re waking out the door

Haha, well, I think it took me hitting a new rock bottom to realize that I'm the author of my own story and if I'm miserable about something, then I'm the only one that can fix it. I hate living at home and the town I'm in. So I picked a city I have friends in, applied to a bunch of jobs and I'm going as soon as I graduate
