My mom joined the National Guard and she's in boot camp for 6 months right now. When she told me she was joining, I cried for a week or so whenever it was mentioned. But after a while I learned to accept it and didn't want to be the one to make her change her mind or make her feel bad about going by me crying all the time. But for some reason, now that she's gone, I don't feel like I miss her a lot. Like, it doesn't make me really upset that she's gone. It seems like it would though because she's the best mother ever and I've never been away from her for more than a week. I honestly don't know why I'm not crying and everything. Is it because I'm selfish? Or am I just trying to be strong for her?
Also, sorry for the sloppy grammar. Sort of in a rush seeing how it's Thanksgiving and all.

IT IS NOT SELFISH because you are worried about her and sad that she is gone you are being so strong not crying and it is probly because you love her so much that you dont want to to Be selfish by crying. that is how i felt when my dad died i was crying all the time and people started saying to get over so i stopped crying but then i noticed you can never get over some things but the good thing is she will be back!

I don't know, but I wouldn't worry about it.
Everybody's different and you can't really compare your feelings about this situation to anybody else's.
Besides, I can relate. I don't miss people. Sometimes when I tell people that they think I'm cold, but their thinking that doesn't make me miss them any. I sometimes wonder if it's some kind of past life thing, like days of isolation in a previous lifetime. But, what do I know?

No, it's perfectly fine. Don't over think things! You were worried about her and you didn't know how to get along without her for more than a week.
Don't lose too much sleep over this, she sounds like a great mom and you sound like a good daughter.

I don't think your selfish at all. Your young, and you probably have alot of stuff going on right now , like school, friends, boys, parties, homework, that kinda stuff.
So you probably really don't have time to think about your mom being gone. Don't worry....be happy she is doing something she always wanted to do, and that your okay with it. âº

Do you live with your dad?
If not then your mother was the one who was selfish.It'd be different if she was single with NO kids, but going away like that was just wrong.
