Boyfriends mom
I love her! She's so sweet but sometimes a bit controlling and stubborn. I know being a single mom is hard because I grew up with one so I don't want to think badly of her.
But my boyfriend is clash in with her a lot lately and I can see why. She is partially deaf and has very conservative views when it comes to sex(doesn't want the two of us to have it until his eighteenth birthday in January).
I try to be there for him but it's hard because while I have had mother issues in the last, it's not the same as what he's experiencing.
I don't want him to ruin their relationship the way I almost ruined mine and it hurts to hear him say he hates her because it floods me with memories of my fights with my mom and all the pain of last year.
Both my boyfriend and I have had some f***ed up things happen while we're growing up, like losing our dads to cancer. But since I'm not going through the same thing as him and haven't walked the same path, I feel like I'm not doing as good a job of supporting him as I could.
Any advice on how to let him know I'm here? And any advice about how to tell him him saying he hates his mom has a negative affect on me?
