How to not fear that she'll abandon me if she dates?
ok so this might seem lame but I am really struggling with it…I grew up in an abusive household which is one of the causes for my anorexia that I have had since I was 12. I was in the fostor care system from 14-17 1/2 then in and out of the hospital for my eating disorder and my last serious ER visit resulted in me ending up in inpatient treatment for seven months. when I got out of treatment I was blessed with a lady that was willing to help me out, knowing that I could not go back “home”. I have been with her for a year now and our relationship has grown and she is the first adult I have ever trusted and I look at her as if she were my mom. and she has said that she looks at me as her daughter. she is really amazing and the question I have is that I know she wants to get date and get married someday, which she has talked to me about and has said that no matter what I would always be a part of her family, but I cant help but feel really scared that I will lose her to some guy, and I know im of legal age but im not capable of being completely on my own right now, mostly due to my eating disorder but I want advice on how to not personalize my mom’s wanting to date and marry somebody, and how to not feel rejected. her and I have only talked about it a handful of times and I always end up getting angry as a defense and thought I would try to be genuine on here and ask for help with this situation. sorry its so long…
it sounds like a hard situation, but you can still stay close with her and I’m sure she will want to stay close w/ you forever. even if you were to move out you can still have mom and daughter days with her and go out with her shopping, spa days and all kings of stuff. I’m sure she won’t abandon
This is so hard because while your head tells you it’s selfish to feel that way, your heart still hurts. But look at it this way - she sounds like a really terrific person. And because of that, she will probably choose a great guy. Your life could change in an incredibly positive way if the household grew. Maybe it would feel evven more like a “family.”
Sounds like you’ve thought about this a lot and analyzed it in a really intelligent way. I think half the battle is done ;)
I am so sorry. :(
