I hope i don’t come off as dramatic or immature for this. I also dont know if this is the right sub but you guys keep it real so why not.

To start off, i’m 17 years old now. Turned 17 in october. I’ll be 18 next year. Despite the fact that i’ll be an adult next year my mom still treats me like a little child and it just pisses me off. Examples:

-She doesn’t let me drive despite the fact i have my permit. In fact im ready to take my test and get my license but she wont let me because she thinks the city we live in is too dangerous just because we’ve had a couple of car crashes recently. Not only that but shes just anxious about the road in general. She refuses to take me anywhere past 10 AM, only lets me drive when the weather is perfect (as in no snow or rain), and not to mention that she wont let me ride with anyone else like friends or some family because she believes that they’ll get me killed.

-she wont let me go certain places. Like she lets me get out but under very tight restrictions. Like if shes dropping me off with friends at the school to hang out she will not let me go out the vicinity of the school despite the fact theres a gas station and 2 parks RIGHT by it. She also doesnt allow me in certain malls, like not malls in general, literally just SPECIFIC ones. The ones she allow me to go to are far far out, where nobody goes. Cant go to the zoo, festival with friends. Hell she dont even let me walk in my neighborhood. Its awful. Cant even go over a friend house unless she gets to know the parent well

I cant even get the stuff i wanna get done with finished. I make music but the current studio i go to is lazy and never gets my stuff finished. I asked her if i can go to a new one but she then gets into a whole fit about how dangerous it is going to another one and stuff.

And you guys could say wait until i turn 18 next year, and yea thats true but we’re gonna be moving by then. And its bullshit because she says once we move thats when she’ll start being lenient one me doing stuff. But theres no point because i literally wont have any friends or family down there. All my friends, family, connections are over here. Why cant i hang out/work with them while i still can here? It took me YEARS to build and find these relationships. Im lucky i even have friends that invite me to places seeing as how strict they know my mom is.

My therapist tells me to talk to her and find common ground, but the thing is i cant talk to her. Everything is either her way or no way. Sometimes she’ll straight up yell at me just for trying to ask her for something. And i would rebel but she threatens to put me on punishment and stuff like that.

I dont think i can do much. But do i have the right to be mad? Should i be more rebellious?
