This should be a happy post and I'm determined not to make it sad but just need a bit of a boost guys.
I'm 37 and have lived here and there all of my life but have mainly been at Mums. I got married in May and we've been doing the house up to move into which we go into in 2 weeks. I wanted to rent in the meantime but My hubby and Mum agreed that staying at Mums would be far more cost effective which we did.
Now it's time to move and I can't get this feeling out of my head that my Mom won't cope with me gone. Of course she WILL and has done before. I still see and speak to her everyday as she's my absolute best friend in the world. I'm an only child as you may gather and Mums in a marriage that is just 'okay.' My Nan lives next door with my uncle and Mom has friends though she never goes out.
I've spoken to her about it and she just says I'm being silly! However, she loves to get involved in what hubby and I are doing by accompanying us to places and although its great, I know that we need some 'us' time now as it's not natural. Sometimes I'll talk to her about him and I doing something and I almost feel like I'm offending her - like the twos company thing?
I know you'll say 'thats not normal' etc but everyone loves Mum as she's eccentric and cool and just fab! She's very hippy in her ways and my friends just adore her. She is one in a million. But I don't want to carry this burden forever. I want to be able to do what normal people do and not feel guilty when I do stuff just with hubby.
I hate the thought of her being sad :(
