Your mom loves you, oh the whole world can see that she loves you, little man. Her love seeps out of every word and look and touch and action. And she is trying her very best for you. This mothering thing has taken over every inch of her body and soul and energy and waking hour. She is in it with all of her being. For you. And I can see that you know it. Every fall, every hurt, every wrong done to you hurts her too. She will protect you and fight for you and defend you until the bitter end.
I'm just sorry she doesn't believe in your independence, dude. You are on the brink of being able to do so many great things. Things you could do if she would step back. Things you would do if she would stop offering you a way out, a way back to her arms. You would be nervous, of course, but the pride and confidence you would gain from tackling big things would be incredible. It would be so exciting to watch you thrive and grow. YOU would be so excited to see yourself as someone who can.
