I never get a weekend to myself. I rarely get more than a half hour to myself so I don't doubt it will take me a while. I read one page worth before bed last night. I will just have to wittle away at it slowly.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I need to learn more about it.
As for my mother having too much control - I know it's the case. I've gotten better and Dei37 would agree that things are better. I still have trouble telling her no without feeling like I have to have at least some kind of reason beyond not wanting to do something. I don't want to cut things off from her because I get along with her pretty well in all other areas. Religion is a big part of her life and it's not easy for her to see that it's not as important to me.
