How do I solo travel w/a strict mother? I have an adult job and pay everything alone yet she has a panic attack every time I travel. Just traveling to Hawaii made her cry daily. She was calling 5x a day minimum. How am I supposed to live tf?

I want to go to Chicago soon (literally the state above us) but unsure how she’ll react. I also want to go out the country for my 23rd birthday and have no clue how she’ll respond

Keep doing it, she’ll eventually have to get use to it since you’re an adult

the state above you shouldn’t be a problem if you went to hawaii right? just remind her how you were safe and responsible last time, and that you’re only a few hours away in case something happens. and ig deal with the international travel later 😭

Tell her that ur an adult and that ur leaving. Don’t answer her if she calls 5x a day, just remind her before u go that ur an adult making adult decisions and, while she might not like u traveling, it’s not like u can stay with her forever. Her feelings r hers to get under control and should not control ur life in this way

I literally feel she thinks my life should be work/make money, come home, have children/a husband. That’s all.

It’s more relaxed. Check out Waimea Canyon, the Na’pali coast, Tunnels beach, and Hanalei. The flora and fauna is nothing short of breathtakinf
