<p>This is abusive, and no amount of wishing or enduring will improve things with this woman who gave birth to you. She’s going to insist on her choice of classes for you. Her apartment. Her airplane tickets. Her friends. She will continue (if you haven’t cut ties by then) to abuse you over your life choices until you put physical and mental distance between you. You can’t survive 6 years at Penn this way, and you’ll still have this ridiculous, insane, life threatening amount of debt. Do not do this. Disowning you may be the biggest blessing in disguise ever…Free after 6 years? No way. She’ll pick your job. She’ll change your major, she’ll do whatever she can to maintain the power. </p>
<p>((hug)). This must be terribly hard for you, and it isn’t fair, and you aren’t wrong to feel like she’s doing something wrong by these ultimatums. I wish we all had a magic wand to send you!!</p>
