Considering my biological mother has never been a large part of my life I find myself craving attention and love from some older women. Pretty much when I meet someone who fills the role of a caregiver (Mother) I become completely attached almost right away. These women are always pretty, successful, stylish and confident. Last year it happened with a teacher of mine but now that I am 18 and have finished school, I am in a more complicated situation. I have an obsession with someone else now: a lady who leads my Church's organisation where I live. After she gave me a hug at camp it really amped up my feelings and I feel a connection to her. (By feelings - i NO WAY mean sexual - it is purely maternal) I think it would be simply perfect for her to be my mother. But as this cannot happen, it really gets to me. Everyday. I am sure she holds all the life experience I so often feel I lack and it is always on my mind - I really admire her but in the past when this 'mother figure obsession's occurred with women, sometimes I want a relationship so intense that the other person will back off.  Please, I really don't know what to do now. If you could take your time and help me I would be extremely grateful. Thank you. Tayla ... View more

I am 16 and I live in state care. My mother neglect me at the age of 6 months.  I find myself looking for a mother figure in people that are older than me such as teachers and sometimes I kinda feel sad i havent got that love.  I'm sick of getting so jealous when I see my friend's Mother's because they are always so loving and caring, esp. when I see my Aunt it makes me insanely jealous of my cousins. I really want a Mother...I just can't take it anymore.  What is wrong with me, is this normal or what. How can I just get over it that I will never have a milf! im just SOO effing stressed lately, I find myself crying a lot. I am constantly trying to find a mother figure that will guide me!  Will this ever stop? Im 16 as you know and wanting a mother figure now seems to be kind of wrong? ts hard but I want a mum so much. Please don't judge me, I know this sounds crazy.  ... View more
