Dear Ol Ma

Mom has had a hard time dealing with me being in college. We haven't ever really been that close. I mean we love each other and I respect her but we just aren't that close. I realized we had grown further apart than we were when I was living at home and going to high school. I don't depend on her for hardly anything anymore since I don't live at home. I have payed for my own car, insurance, cell phone, etc since I was in the tenth grade. Mom has a hard time realizing I don't need her to help me with as many things anymore. We just don't talk as much and don't see each other as much so I guess I should have expected this to happen.
