I’m really close to my mom and I’m fairly certain I’ll be the same way

I’m incredibly protective of her. With certain friends I know they do it just to get under my skin or whatever but for the most part I really don’t like people talking poorly about my mother.

Yeah, i love my mom, but our relationship is complicated, so I can't relate personally. My fiance was adopted as a toddler, so I think he feels he owes his mom a lot for choosing him and advocating for him when he had a lot of behavioral issues as a kid. I can understand that.

Ye I’m not adopted but my mom is legitimately the best human being I know or could imagine

I honestly would not be surprised if, in the afterlife, it was disclosed that she was Jesus or something like she’s what I strive to be as a human and I know I’ll never attain it.

I definitely put her on a pedestal but imo she deserves it

It’s fucked me for dating tho my standards in women are unrealistic. Not talking about looks at all.

You know, i just realized who this person is for me. My aunt/godmother. She is the sweetest woman with the patience of a saint, nursed both my grandparents (her in-laws) on their deathbeds in her own home even though they had five other children...She's definitely not perfect, but any time my mom criticizes her, i get really defensive because this woman has literally given everything she has to everyone without a second thought.
