You’re grown and you need to stress this fact to them, if she’ll only get angry if you don’t call her then realize she’ll get over it. Maybe they still aren’t ready to let go but it’s still no excuse you still need to stand your ground and make some ground rules for what’s going on in your life.

You are doing great right now and on opinion they want you to stay that way and want you to be safe until you are finished with university and on your own. You did not mention if you have siblings. Your parents probably think of their responsibility and retirement and on their own too. These things are not easy. Hope this helps.

i would suggest you call her once a week – period

if she wants to call security then fine – let her

they will stop coming running after the third or fourth time

then stop the home visits every weekend – make it every other weekend instead

have a chat with your dad – he could help especially if he and your mother are still together

but wean your mum off gently

down from every four hours to once a day

then to every other day
then once a week

then weekends can alternate

you are right she is too dependant on you and it isn’t good for you (and probably isn’t good for her either)

reassure her that you still love her but you need to take this time to learn to stand on your own too feet whilst you are in a relatively secure environment that university offers
