You do have every right to be happy. And your mother probably knows that...but she doesn't see this making you happy. In some screwed up part of her brain, she thinks that you are happy living with her and John and enjoy doing all the crap she forces on you.
I agree with Lindsey. You need to make your own mistakes and your mom needs to see that. I know how she may or may not feel about wanting to protect you, but the best thing you can do for someone you love is to let them do something that will let them learn. This moving gig might, for all we know, turn out to be a bad idea. Hell, moving here may have been a bad idea. What she needs to understand is that you're not abandoning her, you're starting your own adventure. If this adventure doesn't work with you the way you need it to, she needs to be there to help you--to take you back in and love you anyway if, for whatever reason, you get screwed over.
It's a hard lesson to learn, tough love. And it's especially hard to use on people you love. I am constantly forgetting that myself. Tears me up for awhile, I talk to Shawn...and in his own way, he always reminds me: "You need to let them make their own mistakes. If you try to tell them not to and they will anyway, you just have to let them. What you can do is be there for them when they need you." And what I have promised to myself, that sometimes I have a hard time doing, is that no matter what, even if I disagree, I will support you. It's not an invitation I give to many people, so you're special. Believe that. Always.
With much love and care,
Aneki
