I agree that there is nothing wrong with living at home and commuting. However, I’m wondering if that would be the best move for you. My three girls are very close to each and me. However, each of us has our own friends and lives. We don’t depend on each other for our happiness. Maybe it would be best for you to visit your school’s counseling department and explore if you and your mom’s relationship is healthy or if it’s interfering with your goals for the future. Is she as dependent on you as you are on her?
