I'm a girl aged 24. I've grown up in a nuclear family which includes my parents, myself and my younger brother. My father is a businessman and lives abroad for months. My brother goes to uni and looks after our business here. The issue is that my mother has got really possessive. I've always been around her. We are more than best friends and secret sharers. I take care of her, be it her meals and medicines on time, massages, shopping, eating out and everything. Now what happens is if I leave her even for a couple of hours once or twice a month to hang out with my friends, I return to find her sad and her bp high. She is cross, scolds me that I'm being too free-spirited (although people around us tell my mother she has raised the best kids) but later admitted that she feels lonely and empty without me which makes her irritated. I have limited my hangouts to breakfasts when she is asleep but this doesn't end here. I'm worried about what will happen when I'll get married and leave? Even if I keep visiting frequently, that won't be enough because she is addicted to my company. I'm afraid she won't take care of herself, and will fall ill and depressed. Kindly suggest me how to cope with the situation ASAP.
