can that really work? because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to become a singer, but my mom doesnt like me going to big public places. she doesnt even like me going to small public places!

All she wants is for me not to go away, but stay with her, be her "little shumma" or, "shumma-num". SHE COMPLETELY BABYS ME!!!! And so now that I can't go to public places, I think I'm completely hopeless. What can I do about that??? (I cant show her my independence without making her mad at me. she explodes like a bomb.)
