She's my age by now (29) and her son is 13 years old. She can't forgive her mother because the lady literally kicked her out of the house when she got pregnant, told her not to ever come back, that she was a shame, that she's dead to her, forget she has a mother and other horrible things.

The lady has been trying to get her forgiveness for the past 10 years, trying to meet her grandson but she wants nothing to do with her mother. She reminds her that she's no longer her mother since, she wasn't there when she needed her the most, that she can go take a hike, that she'll never forgive her ever, etc. My friend still doesn't understand what mother kicks out a then underage child. She was 15 when telling her mother about it (and getting thrown out) and gave birth at 16.

My boyfriend & me have been together for two years. He's very social and extroverted while I'm very introverted and love being on my own.
His parents and sister are even more extroverted and basically talk non stop. They complained to him about me 'cause I'm too quiet for their liking. He told me they've never met anyone who is more quiet than him.

We've had several discussion about me being too quiet and he even accused me of holding him back which never even happened. We went to parties several times, I never complained about him inviting friends over, we always try to do several activities when we go out, etc. Before his friends come over he often tells me to be friendly while I've never been unfriendly. He also asked if I could try to be as comfortable as when I'm with my best friends (friends I've known for >10 years vs his friends I've only seen 5 times). I don't mind coming out of my comfort zone but it just feels like he expects me to change completely and turn into a person I'm not.
I may be quiet but I'm not the one who is impulsive and doing things 'cause he feels pressured because of his friends.
