My mom is dating someone my age
I grew up an only child to a single mother. When I was growing up she was almost never in a relationship. She basically treated me like her partner. Since age 5 my mom was having breakdowns about money and how lonely she was, and she’d say “I don’t have a partner, I just have you.”
Now I’ve moved out and am living with my girlfriend, and she has found a partner. She says they are in love, they’ve been dating for almost two years, and he moved in with her.
I’m so happy for her that she has someone, except he’s 39 years younger than her, and only 3 months older than me.
Now what used to be my room at my mom’s house is his study room. He hasn’t graduated college yet, and my mom told me that his is his first relationship.
Really complicated feelings.
