i started thinking today about how much i wanted to go camping and how much ive just been wanting to get away for a bit..just in general and wondering what i could do or where i could go..and i finally started thinking about taking a trip back to cumberland island..in georgia..a 7 hour drive from where i live and the fees and everything to go camping would be under $50 at the most...and so all i would need to do was worry about gas money and all the stuff i needed to take with me..and go from there..and its still just all in the planning stages but i think i really want to do it..i miss camping and cumberland was the most peaceful place ive ever been..i dont know yet if im going alone but i think it would be ok to go alone..not like many ppl can just take off for a week like i can cas my job is incredibly flexible..and if i want to go somewhere i can..but that would mean missing a week of work again! because i want to camp during the week when theres a lesser chance of being around a whole lot of ppl..but then i have to figure out everything i would possibly need to camp for a week..and then how much for gas and maybe a hotel for a night cas cold showers are ok for a few days but then its a pain lol..but ive never taken a trip completely alone..to spend time alone..its different..but i really do want to do it..
its fun because its the last thing anyone would ever expect me to do..just get tired of being told what i should and shouldnt do..if im an adult then i can do whatever i want too..and i guess its about time i started doing stuff i like to do..

Hey there,
Go for it. I think I took my first trip alone my senior year of college. I went to a state park and stayed in their lodge. I've taken several other trips by myself. I went to Myrtle Beach by myself (but I wasn't roughing it; I was in a hotel). Also went to Disneyworld by myself for a week! I like to travel by myself. You get to do exactly what you want, you don't have to be concerned with what the other person is wanting, but not telling you. You don't have to try to mind read anyone but yourself! I've thought of camping by myself, but haven't done that yet. I'm not sure if I feel completely safe or not camping alone. I guess if I was in a park that had enough other campers that I wasn't completely alone it would be ok. Anyway, I highly recommend going off by yourself and reading and doing what YOU want. You deserve the get-away. And just planning it will help too, even if the trip is a ways off. I like having something to look forward to. Do not give up on yourself. You ARE making progress and your mom will get to you less and less. I think there is a grief you will have to go through in realizing she will never be able to give you what you want - unconditional acceptance. She is not capable. Most people aren't. God is... Love you.
