overprotective mom is tearing us apart
| Mon, 06-28-2004 - 12:34am |
I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 21. We live an hour and a half away from each other, whether I'm away at school or at home. We've never lived close to each other and have always had a long distance relationship. My mom has always been overprotective, which is one reason I've lost so many friends and my only boyfriend before this one. He's planning on switching to my college next year, but we have to make it until then. My mom doesn't see any reason why I should go see him and doesn't think I'm capable of making the drive. She said as long as I'm seeing him, he has to be the one to commute and I'm not allowed to. She was against our relationship from the beginning, I think partly because she doesn't want me to have a boyfriend because that means I'm growing up, which I don't think she's ready for. It has come to the point where it's coming between my boyfriend and me and I don't want to lose him because I'm not allowed to grow up, especially when I'm almost 20 years old. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Hello tiger!

I agree, your mom is being overprotective... you didn't mention if you are an only child or the youngest with siblings... it can make a difference when a parent is faced with the "empty nest" syndrome...
