My dream has always been to go to the ocean and etcc. My family has never gone for two main reasons my dad hates them, and my mom hates flying.

I told my boyfriend (whom I've been with 3 years) that I have always wanted to go there since I was little. Next month is my 23 birthday, and he surprised me by booking a trip to take me there! I am so excited!

However, I am worried my mom is going to be very angry. I told her how I wanted to visit a friend who moved to Texas for a job and she said "oh no I would be too nervous you flying there" she has always done stuff like this. I didn't go to the college of my choice, because it was 2 hours away and that was too far away from her.

I am worried about her reaction when I tell her. Should I feel bad? What should I say? I'm not wrong, am I? (link)
You should not feel bad. You're 23, you can't be under the influence of your parents for ever. They can't have a say in everything you do. It's your life, and if you want to take a trip, then accept the awesome gift your boyfriend gave you, and don't let anyone have a say in it. Life is too short to not live it.
Hope this helps~

I agree. It has been hard when she is constantly treating me like a child. Thanks for the advice!
