To answer the question - "towing the line" meant doing what she wanted, when she wanted, in the manner she wanted.  She felt she knew best on topics such as what I should study, what I should do with my time outside of class and who I should have as friends. No discussion. No choice. The there were room searches (looking for contraband that didn't exist) and monitoring of telephone calls. She wanted total control, I wanted freedom.  The result was that it ruined whatever relationship we once had.

PPs seem to be thinking that she was doing what she felt was best for me, as the recipient, I can tell you that I lived my teenage years with a bully that would not relent and I could not escape.

Just because someone can give birth doesn't mean she can't also be a bully.

The original poster stated she wanted to conduct a room search not because she believed her son's health is at risk but to assert her authority.

I thought I would share my story because there are some lines that cannot be uncrossed and there are some actions that cannot be undone.

I agree that some parents are horrible and need to be shunned. But PP still hasn't made a convincing case that she doesn't share part of the blame. Did PP give probable cause, like coming home drunk or wasted one or more times? Was PP gabbling about majoring in creative writing, Mom said she wouldn't pay, so "toeing the line" meant PP had to study something practical instead? Who knows.[/quote]
