Thank you Hayley. :)
I plan to phone my parents this weekend, so hopefully I can bring up the issue with my mum then - delicately.
Today... drum roll... I had the afternoon off work, so decided to go shopping for my birthday presents in Brent Cross. It was fairly crowded, but manageable. I was feeling stable and mellow and calm [not a frequent occurrence in public for me] so I thought I'd make the most of it. I chose some things I wanted for me, using the money my parents gave me. Including a jade green coat for the spring/summer - which tones nicely with my green eyes. All the things I chose are meaningful to me, which is how it should be.
