    That’s really hard to narrow down; I suspect that she didn’t really want me from some point in childhood onward. When I was a teen she said that her duty to God was completed once I turned 18, and she’d be rid of me. When I turned 17, she developed short-timers syndrome, if you’ll pardon the slang, and I was kicked out. God’s gonna be so maaaaaaaddd!

    It was hard going for 10 or so years, but I’m 38 now and doing just fine.

        When you see your role in something coming to an end and you lose motivation and desire to continue. A similar slang word is senioritis, when you’re ending your secondary school education.
