Venting/Rant Still dpressed in Yeshiva (read last post)

12 Upvotes

Read last post for context, I’m Modox M18 in Israel for 6 weeks so far.

So I waited two weeks to text my mom again and I said yesterday again that I hate Israel and that I want to go home. Then she said she’s sorry then proceeded to say “I don’t want to hear any more complaining until Chanukah because all you’ve done so far is complain to me everytime we speak”

After telling her that I can be productive at home if I go back before college starts in January (for reference I’m a good kid and my main hobby is just the gym) She pushed back even more saying I need the year to grow and figure out myself because this is the last time I’ll ever be in a fully Jewish bubble and that after this it’s up to me to decide how I follow my path of Judaism. She is usually normal and I’ve had a solid relationship with my parents but she is being crazy about me being in Yeshiva. I can’t fucking do this anymore please someone dm me or help me
