Dear Madam,

Having lost your father, it is but natural that your mother is bound to be more possessive of you, because she loves and cares for you. You should explain to your mother that you are an adult and need to learn to be taking your own decisions. You should tell your mother that if she keeps on constantly telling you what you should or should not be doing, you will be compelled to look for a separate place away from your parents. As far as possible, try and avoid that situation.

Regards,
