Hi CoolKat! I can understand your frustration. Sometimes though, we have to give our parents a break. Yes they have more advantages being older, but they also have a lot more responsibility. Have you tried talking to your mom about why. she wants to go on holiday where she chose to go? Perhaps there is something special about that place to her.

I can understand your desire to meet someone. It's hard being on your own. From your posts, I noticed that you did not mention your dad. If your mom is single how do you think she feels? Put yourself in her shoes and try to really understand her. You may have more in common than you think and it may give you an opportunity to have a conversation with your mom. Hopefully you and she will come to an understanding. Good Luck!

My mum and dad was are still ok . they still married . I didn't say since i tried talking to her about issue . that I didn't want to fly on airplane on different counties . just stay in the England . the holiday is Cornwall . is that very far away from town called Warrington . My mum put a limited on how many area i can go to near my town to with dating and relationship . yet is fine to go Cornwall without even thinking about my issue . she went to and i got very sad she starting looking at wedding rings and all because her wedding ring broke . she knew that i wanted to go to the Saturday group in Northwich . yet she took that way . is even now talking even more longer to find a boyfriend . I just got out of friend instead that i met at McDonald in Northwich and i didn't like him as boyfriend marital just seen has a friend .

Hi CoolKat,

I understand your disappointment. As a mom myself, I can understand your mom as well. Fear of flying or going to another country? Yeah, me too!But talk to your mom about all these things. Explain how you feel and why. Is it possible for you to stay with a family member while your mom is on holiday?I'm not sure how all that works in the UK, I am in the states and we don't get to go on holiday like you do over there.

I have to ask about your concern about having a boyfriend. Why do you think you need to have a boyfriend? Lots of people live alone, including myself, and yes, it sucks. But, I have not had a male friend for at least 12 years. And I am ok with that.

Dating is different now because of covid and the internet. I would suggest you build your circle of friends rather than focusing on just getting a boyfriend.

Also, what do you want to do with your life?Do you want to stay where you are? Do you want to get more education? These are some of the things you need to think about. Set a goal and take steps to work toward that goal.

I wish you the very best!
