WHAT should I DO??? I really need HELP or ADVICE!?
Alright, back story:
My bf bought me a plane ticket to South Korea to meet his parents (we've been dating for about a year).
I really really wanted to go, but my mom hates my bf and is afraid of something "bad" could happen to me in South Korea. Sooo my plane was supposed to leave on Dec 27th...And...I was about to walk out the door with everything, but she physically stops me (punches and pushes me) from leaving!
Soo now I feel terrible and my bf and his parents are really disappointed. And I have an un-used plane ticket that I have no clue what to do with.
The thing is, I have the option of going to South Korea January 2nd to the 19th, even though it will cost $800 extra to change my ticket. My bf's parents are willing to pay this and I really want to go.
Now, before I tried leaving THE FIRST time for South Korea, my mom told me if I don't go and stay here, then our relationship will get much better and she'll be nice (my relationship w/ my mom has honestly sucked for the past 2 years). So anyway, I stayed (reluctantly) in America when I was supposed to leave...Then THE VERY NEXT DAY my mother starts ranting and raving and going crazy (as usual, no lie) about how stupid i am and how she wants to "take a step back" from me. And she's now going to move out of our apartment, let me take over the rental-lease, and move somewhere that I won't be able to go cuz she willingly will not tell me where. She doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. BUT WTF its like, she promised me to change if i stayed (and i did, even if i was FORCED to stay) but then she doesnt change??!?!?! What am I supposed to do?
Also, if I go to South Korea, my twin sister would be INSTANTLY kicked out of the house...But now im thinking "well that doesnt matter if me and my sister will have to take over this rental of hers".
(My sister and I have the option of staying at my bfs house for indefinitely with not having to pay rent.)
So. I have an un-used plane ticket that I need to change the date so I don't lose the money on it. Should I book it for Jan 2nd and do what I want, or still try to please my mom? PLEASE...PLEASE I could use the advice, no trolls, and I need some advice right now cuz this is a lot to deal with!!
Thanks
Sorry for leaving out these details lol but I'm 21 and my mother originally set me and my bf up! Theyre both becoming massage therapists so they go to the same classes and etc.
Uhm well my father passed away about 15 years ago so theres no help there :*(
OK also, my bf lives in America....like 10minutes from my house, so i've obviously met him in person for a whole year now and i've done extended stays at his house before (like 5 days at a time) so yeah lol its NOT an internet relationship at all, its totally been person to person

First off, how old are you? Have you finished your education? You need to be able to stand on your own two feet and not have to depend on your bf. Are you both considering marriage in the near future? You need to sort this all out. the best way is for you to get counselling. Pls don't ignore your sis while making important decisions. Do nothing about the plane ticket for now, till you get help sorting this all out. Good luck.

Your situation is very harsh. Let me rephrase, if I may, how I understand the situation. The problems are that if you leave, your mother will kick out your twin sister, as well as move to some unknown location. If you get there, what will happen? What will you gain? You will gain love, relationships, and a beautiful future (I hope). If you stay, you will be closer to home, even if your mother is very loud and obnoxious. I'm not saying this is permanent, but my opinion is to find out what your mother likes, what she doesn't like. Find out more about her before New Years' and possibly give her the best gift she could ever have (a modest paying one) and tell her that you want to improve the relationship the best you can, and gently but firmly explain that the money is massive and you really don't want to waste the chance for a future. After this and possibly a reluctant if not happy confirmation, set the date of the ticket and go meet your boyfriend! This is the best thing that could happen. It's easy to imagine what it would be like if this failed, but this is advice. And advice is something to ponder over. Think over this. Read it again. Then make up your own plan. But remember, breaking the news requires NO arguing. Leave it to gentle and firm. And try not to have someone else "supporting" you...I learned the hard way that that "support" hurts you more than it helps you.

Why does your bf live in Korea ? Have you ever met him in person? If not it wouldnt be wise yo visit another country to visit someone who you think you know. What if you go to Korea and your put in a situation that your not comfortable with and you want to leave but your bf is holding you aginst your will what will you do then? You cant call 911 because thats not koreas emergency number. What if your bf turns out to be somebody horrible? You should realy think about the choices you make for your life because there are long term consequences for good and bad choices. Are you an adult? If you are you should use your common sense an make the smart recision

Be there for her and check out and get her to speak to her mom and dad... By her speaking to them offers her extra choices on wether or now not she wishes to maintain it and even adoption she has extra choices now than she is going to later. Her mom and dad will uncover out finally simply be certain it is not to overdue. And be a well buddy and check out and support/advisor her to make the offerings she wishes and now not what someone "wishes" her to do for the reason that she am has to manage it in a while in lifestyles it doesn't matter what she comes to a decision... And like the woman earlier than mentioned her mom and dad will develop to the proposal and sure there is a risk they will free it however the will not do any harm her or the youngster. So inspire her to make her choices so that they can improvement her ultimately.

everybody get mad, did you ever see him mad yet, well you need to see just how mad he gets when he does get mad, when u both get into an argument where will you go, outside? where? how far can you walk at night? you don't know what korea id like. it could be just like here where they have gangs and it may not be safe to go out side how will you go back to Mom? just say home if he wants you he will come to your house and see you in your country, where English speaking is at. oh and what if he gets upset with you then what? you don't know what ur doing so stay home kid. do they hire folks in korea who don't speak korean? can I help you what can what can i what can what?

wow u have alot of family problems well if u really like this guy ill say go for it but ur mom is in the way... yikes...so! TRY to tell her want u feel for this guy and ask why does she hate him I mean theres nothin to worry about if he's a good guy and like i said yikes but the tightest situation comes with an imporatant decision. I think wat best is sit down with ur mom tell her nicely why did she go down on her promise and tell her ur livin to see his parents bc thats the right thing to do in a relationship and if she doesnt like it then hell she has to live with it!

your mom is basically trying to bribe you to say. by saying "our relationship will be better if you stay" she is being manipulative. i think it is wonderful your boyfriend and his parents are willing to do this for you. talk to your sister first and make sure she is fine with the consequences of you going. I'm sorry this situation is so complicated.
