I feel very similarly having grown up with a very overprotective and overly attached mother. I'm constantly struggling with emotions and have a lot of self doubt and don't feel like Im in control of my life. Been slowly regaining this control and trying to improve myself via therapy. Unfortunately right now I don't value my parents very much and Im resentful towards my mother. Perhaps that will change in future, perhaps not.

People are not perfect. I know it's hard now but I urge you not to resent your mother. If she was otherwise kind then she was just overprotective and overly attached because she loves you.
