woahhh solo trip to Korea sounds amazing!!! @Blackcloud
i can see why you'd be stressed right now, lots happening for you! is the accommodation and stuff booked already as well?
i think it's pretty normal for mums to worry about that sort of stuff, i'd be more concerned if she didn't worry about you going off on your own! but there is definitely a different between being concerned/worried for you vs stopping you from going on that solo trip. from how she responded to you moving out, she doesn't seem like the type of person to stop you and i think you're right - she might just want to have that convo with you. you've already booked the ticket so i don't think she can stop you even if she wanted to 😆
if your mum's anything like mine, she probably needs a bit of time to process this and accept that you're going away. and probably bombard you with warnings (that's a mum's special way of saying 'i'm scared please be careful'... not fun for us to listen to but they mean well).
i honestly think it is a good idea to tell your parents about the travel in case anything does go wrong while your overseas for either of you (safety purposes), and who knows...maybe she's got some cool travel tips too! how long are you going for?
and really glad your OT was able to help you out with those tickets, i recently booked flight tickets as well so i know how stressful that process can be! any reason you chose Korea for the solo travel?
