Ok, This is what is going on. My Farther died 3 years ago I am 20 now. My mother has met a man on the internet and is moving in with him as soon as they meet. I am very upset i feel nelected in a way and unloved. I live with my mother still and some how feel as if she is leaving me. I told her how i felt and she blew it off like it didn't matter to her. I don't know why i feel this way i am a grown woman why do i feel like i am 11 years old and my mother is dumping me out. I don't want my mother to live with this man but i want her to be happy and so far he has. Am i being selfish? Or is this a normal feeling to have? I just feel like i want to cling to my mother i feel like such a baby. I know my sister and brother feel the same way as i do. We have been so close to our mother and specially after our farther passed away. What is everyone eles insight on what we are going through? Should we just drop it and get over it? Or is there a deeper reason why we feel this way.
Well, I would think it would be perfectly normal. It doesn't matter how old you are, it's hard to loose a loved one, and you do tend to hold on to other loved ones. I would explain exactly what you've explained here to your mother. Good luck with everything. (And no, that foolish troll posting above was not me, this is the first time in ages that I've actually opened this board up.)
I think you have a valid reason to feel the way you are feeling about this. I am 26, and live on my own, and if my mom were to do this, I would even have a problem with it. I think that you are feeling this way because you are still very upset about your father, and also because you maybe think it is still too soon for your mother to start dating. You are probably concerned with the fact that your mother met this guy on the net, and decided to move in with him as soon as they meet. I think what you are feeling is completely normal. Good luck, I hope you can get your mom to see how you are feeling.
