wish i was back at home with my mother

my elderly mother lives far away from me now, i live here in this flat alone, as i have done for 20 years, i live on the 3rd floor of a 4 story block...i have no support system now besides my elderly mum and dad, they live far away.....i manage difficult psychological problems as you will know from my posts....and at times i feel isolated and lonely, and insecure too..............and at those times, i long to be back at home with my mother when i was little living in the family home....but that times has long passed now and isn't coming back.

but i have memories i will always cherish from the time, back to a time where i felt safe and secure.

any thoughts on this?

II'm curious as to why you can't go back and live with them?

@MsSwan hello again, well my mother lives very far away now and only lives in a small bungalow for the elderly, with not much room for me to move in...my father lives in another city, my mum and dad have been divorced over 30 years now, i'm not as close to my dad as i am with my mother......so sadly i can't live with my mother anymore, she gets up to see me once in a while and i'll see her at christmas now.

i just miss the time when i was a kid and i lived in a big family house and i felt secure, safe and happy with my mother mothering me, i know it sounds childish or immature..maybe even ridiculous...but in this world today, with everything that's going on, i long to be back to that happy safe time......i suppose i just have to be adult now and get on with things the best i can, i do feel a lot of fear though.

@durinsBane1983 Oh, ok, I see.

It's not ridiculous to want to feel safe and secure. We all want that.
