My mother is my closest and best friend. I have only one or two friends that I speak to and/or see occasionally but I am happy so am I weird to have my mother as my best friend?
(I have been betrayed by many friends in the past, i miss having friends but do not miss the drama that is attached to it)

Count yourself lucky. It may be weird now, but when your 35 you will really cherish the relationship with your mom. Friends come and go. Blood is forever.

Well I can tell you, from a Mom's perspective who has three teenagers, and they're all different, that I think it is a wonderful thing that you can maintain that friendship with your Mom. I don't know your age, but it is mature. When you can still have your own identity and know that your Mom is there for you, knows you like nobody else will, and has unconditional love. I think it is rare in today's world and for you to recognize it, appreciate it and enjoy it!! All 3 of our kids talk to me about anything and everything. They feel secure, loved and safe to share whatever they want. Our oldest son went through a lot with getting diagnosed with Crohns, having surgeries and being hospitalized numerous times. We have been there for all of our kids, through all of it. Our oldest and I have been up at nights together, as he was so sick, vomiting, diarrhea, and the pain. He couldn't sleep and so I was up with him and we have so many bonding memories, times, that that has now made us with a close relationship. I don't know if others could understand it, many friends are not getting it when he'll say, how could you say something bad about your Mom? It's YOUR MOM!" LOL So I say who cares what others have to say or any of it, enjoy the relationship you have. Knowing that you have that kind of unconditional love and support, somebody who is there through it all, is an amazing thing! Just don't let that affect your going out, and meeting other people and having fun!

It is really good that you are best friends with your mom I was too.she passed away in March after a year long battle of lung cancer and I was there every step of the way until the end the hardest thing I have ever went through I am 31 and she is 51 so cherish your mom because you never know I miss my mom so badly.

My mom's always been my best friend too. Most of my pals are also very close to their moms. However, I do have a few other close friends my own age ,and I think that is a wise and healthy thing. Your mom won't be around forever so it is good to have other people you can trust and hang out with. Don't give up hope on finding more friends.

There's nothing wrong with it if you're happy. Mothers are meant to share a close relationship with their children, so what's the big deal? Go for it. Mums have a tendency to understand all their child's thoughts best, so you've, technically, got a great best friend.

That is so nice that your mother is your best friend. My mother was my best friend in the whole world for 59 years. I recently lost her and miss her very much. I hope you all ways keep your mother as your best friend. You will never find a more loyal friend!

i can relate when u stated about drama and so call friends. if a person is your friend they would not send you through any drama. don't get me wrong u wont agree on everything all the time but there is a differences when a person brings drama. it's wonderful that you have a great relationship with your mom.

Me too. My mother is my best friend. Friends come and they go, but family is always there with you. And no, you're not weird. A lot of people are like you.
