Answer #1

She is just worried because her little girl is moving out, it is probably nothing really to do with you. A few parents do do this, but it is normal and your girlfriend just has to respect how your mum feels, but still be firm with her.

Do you want her mum to know you two are together? If not then she can just approach her mum saying that she feels moving there for college is the best option for her as the course looks great, and she should not be worried as she knows you are going too so you could look out for her if there are any problems- it is not like she will be all alone in a big new city (she should mention you like friends, unless you want her to do otherwise).

Get her to tell her mum that is honestly where she feels she will be happiest, but she wants her mum’s support too as it will probably be quite a strange time. Reassure her of regular phone calls back and visits occassionaly and she should be fine =) parents do come around in time, especially when they realise their children will be happiest moving away, but just get your girlfriend to reassure her to make the move easier for everyone.

Answer #2

Excellent advice from Jetc. Also when you do get to college, both of you have to make SURE that your studies come first. If you two are truly and maturely in love you will be fine through your college years.

Good Luck!!
