My sister (29) and I (23) are both working-class women, but due to our busy schedules, we only get to go out once every two or three months. However, whenever we plan to go out, our mom gets angry and strongly disapproves. We’ve tried talking to her, explaining that we are adults who just want to enjoy ourselves, but she refuses to listen. When we ask her for a reason, she doesn’t give one—just frustration and anger. We often feel isolated and struggle to build meaningful relationships. At times, it gets so overwhelming that we cry about it. Despite this, our mom still won’t let us go out freely or even consider moving out. Is this normal?
