I had a great response and then saw your update…lol!! Congratulations!! But, here are my 2 cents, anyway…
What a blessing it is to have that level of insight at such a young age!!
You’ve proven that you are a thinker capable of processing and deducing in order to fine solutions to complications. You are already on your way. You have already moved your mother out of your way. What you have left to do is to move yourself out of your way!
I told my grown son that there comes a time when the rules of one house no longer serve the lifestyles of all those under its roof. When that day comes for you, you’ll have some tough decisions to make. Before and during that “day,” you can either prepare to sit in discomfort until your lifestyle bends to follow the rules or you can prepare to make rules of your own that will protect you as you live your lifestyle elsewhere.
My friend, it sounds as if that “day” has come for you. The rules of that house no longer fit for you. It’s just growth and that comes with a little pain. You now have to chose which pain you can tolerate best.
Best of life to you!!!

I seem to be the only one who thinks, feels and understands the way I do. They make me feel the most awkward and uncomfortable when it’s in their company I should feel the most myself. They are my toughest “social circle” in which to function. My energy is drained when I leave their presence and can only take them in doses.
But, what I’ve learned is that when I’m busy being focused on what I truly want for my life, I don’t have much time or energy for anything negative – including their judgments. When I’m dialed in to positives, the negatives always take a back seat or fall off with little to no effort of mine.
I’d encourage you to set about the journey of fulfilling your life. Use your energy wisely and for good. Either, they’ll evolve with you or they’ll find themselves uncomfortable in your grand light. But, you should definitely stay focused on your light!
