Everyone knows the rules of growing up. Once you're eighteen things become clearer, childhood problems melt away, and you're ready to go out and conquer the world. You're now an adult. You can look your parents in the eye as equals. Officially, you're on your own, and now you'll only look back fondly at what you once were, an immature child still learning about life. Or so you'd think. Jake is a young adult who grew up with the support of his family, especially his mother, Elaine. Though he experienced some rough patches as a child and fitting in was a constant challenge, she's been there for him. But it's time for Jake to "grow up" and for him, that means no longer needing his family. It turns out that life without them is a far greater struggle than he ever imagined. Living independently is hard, but admitting it is even harder. Join this true story of conflict and heart-pounding moments, as both mother and son explore the concept of parenting as a lifelong commitment.

I can't pinpoint the exact moment I knew, but I realized something was up when I found myself staring at his face way longer than necessary. I knew it was only getting worse when he kissed me on the forehead, or my cheek, or my neck and I blushed from it. He would lay down with his head in my lap, and I thought my heart would pound out of my chest. We would wander around holding hands, and I felt nothing but butterflies in my stomach. I was in love with my best friend. Then someone else came along, he was the most egotistical jerk and player ever known to human kind. He made me feel so angry, annoyed, and pissed all at the same time. He would sit next to me in class throwing paper balls at my head or sometimes with his eraser shavings. But he would find a way to make me laugh at the most stupidest jokes ever told. He was slowly easing his way to my heart. And then I couldn't help but wonder.... Who do I really love?
