why do some suggest become more independent of my mother, when i don't want to
i'm very close to my elderly mother, i always have been, she has always over mothered me and we have always had a very close bond, more so than many other mother and son.....my mother lives far away from me now but phones me 4x daily, and i really need that support and to hear my mothers voice on the line.......as you know i struggle with psychological problems and don't have much of a support system now, just mainly my mum.
i remember a long time ago when i lived at home with my mum and i felt very happy secure and safe, she spoiled me and got me everything i wanted....and i dearly miss that time, when i was a boy....but now i'm an adult, but still rely a great deal on my mother.
i would find it very difficult and very traumatizing to be independent of my mum, and i know i never will.....but is there anything so wrong with that?
if my mother never phoned me daily and my father never phoned me once a month, i would feel very isolated and cut off from people as i have no one else now as i lost touch with my friends, never had a romantic relationship, because of all the problems i had psychologically.
