Mother doesn't want to live alone?

Question

I would like to get an apartment and she can move in the same complex as me, so we won't be far from each other. but, then we would have separate energy bills, telephone and rent. I can afford it, but, she doesn't want to do it. she doesn't want to live in the neighborhood i wanna live in, but she won't live by herself. What should i do?

I feel the same way you do. I have lived in the same town all my life with my folks around the corner. Now I am back in school and going for a degree and I want to move away from this small town. So I will be leaving my folks who are up in their high '70s. I feel something will go wrong after I have lived near them for so long and I wanting to get away. I feel I should do what is best for me and get a life.  I hope this helps, God bless.

see if you can find a roommate for mom in the neighborhood she wants to live in or maybe a room in a boarding house. hopefully you can find something pretty close to where you want to live, but if you can't, remember that she's a big girl and trying to muscle her into what you want will only make her resentful.

try to find solutions she can live with. good luck

You aren't responsible for your mother.

Do what is best for you -- your mother will have to adjust.

Let her know that you love her but it's time for you to get your own space.
