She's depressed, and is afraid to be alone, so she makes you feel guilty unless you do something to take care of her. Emotional abuse is the worst kind. Good luck.

Simple... She loves you in her own way, try to accept her faults and love her back....on a more personal note.. my mom was the same way, at least 5 phone calls a day (good thing she didn't have internet), and I only started to understand "Mom is being mom" about 5 months before she died and I sure miss those phone calls

Girl the same thing happen to my younger sister our mom just didnt know how to let go. My younger sister went to college far away too and my mom would find the time to drive up there and stay the weekends with my sister. I think it is because parents get older and then they start feeling lonely and left out. Just kindly let your mom know that you have to live your life too but you are willing to spend somedays with her but she has to understand you are going up and that life is changing for you.
Good luck and I hope the best for you.

Your mom is having a problem cutting the apron stings.
Some parents just can’t let go if their kids for one reason or another.
They feel that after taking care of you that there is nothing else in life for them so instead of moving on in there lives they are stuck in the role of parent.
Send her to a physiologist to talk about why she can’t let go

She has an unhealthy emotional need to continue mothering. Don't let her smother you. Stand up for your right to be an individual, free thinking adult.
If she keeps it up, instead of Mother, start calling her smother. Maybe she'll get the hint, but probably not.
You'll have to make her cry, and then feel guilty.

because she is a control freak and wants to make your life miserable, I grew up with one like that and when I started saying no and changed my cell phone number she got the message. Sound to me like she might need some help with anger issues.

Because you allow her not to for one thing........If she is constantly calling you, don't answer the phone........Call her once a week adn leave it at that.........I know what you are going through because it has happened to me as well........My mom didn't even realize that she was pestering me so much, and when I let her know she eased up.........Take care, dear...........

is she divorced? perhaps she needs to develop her own social life- find friends w/ common hobbies/interests.
