Seperation anxiety?

I am getting married and moving to another country. my mom is a single mom and her and i have grown very close in the past 3 years. i just am not sure if i will be able to leave her. does that mean i am not ready to get married? i do not deal with stress well and there are a lot of changes going on. my fiance is in iraq and i just don''t know what i'm supposed to do. i need a total outsiders opinion. thanks

    A mommy's heart has to learn how to deal with the separation. I don't think she expects you to always be around for her. Take a lot of time before you leave spending time with her. I don't think this means you are not ready to be married, it just means that you are very close to your mom and this change is going to be hard for the two of you. Talk about how hard it is going to be with your mom often, so you two can process the separation together, face to face, before you leave.

    Sounds like you are attracted to stress. You need to learn how to deal with it if you are going to deal with separation from mom and the fiance

    What you are feeling is normal and you are going to feel it for several months once you move. The thing is if you are a mature enough woman to get married then you can leave your mother. You are now to go be with your husband and live as one with him.

    Good luck!

    I understnad that you love your mom. But you are an adult who is getting married. Try to convince your hubby that you should stay here for a while, maybe he'll understand. If not then you need to make a decision for yourself. YOu can stay with your mom forever or you can make a life for yourself and try to make her understand that you're a big girl.

    you have every right to feel anxious.

    you're very close to your mom.

    it's scary moving to a different state let alone a different country.

    eventually, you will see the benefits of this....a new place, a new experience.

    you're going to miss your mom very much and it's very normal.

    in due time, you will be just fine.

    go to counseling. they will help put things into perspective, bit by bit. you sound extremely overwhelmed and scared, which is totally understandable, and par for the course. a counselor will also help you manage, deal and identify stress.
