Why is my 18-year old-fashioned daughter suddenly so attached to me?
I'm a single parent, my husband died when my daughter was about 6 years old. We moved to a strange home, when she was about 12, and she used to be very attached to me. She would dally for me to come home from work and refuse to let me go when I did come home. As she get older, she eventually lost this attachment, which is normal.
Now, she is 18 years old. She have been sick for the past 3 days and I have stayed up near her at night to make sure her fever doesn't draw from too high, etc. I'm going out tonight and she just came up to me, crying, that she doesn't want me to give up. Like she's 12 again. Any reason why she's doing this?
who doesnt want 'mommy' when youre sick : )
I think she's extremely grateful for all of the help you hold given her, and with her not having a father anymore, she is scared of something impossible happening to you.
I think she is scared of losing you.
Your massively lucky to have her as a daughter, some parent's have insane kids that beat their mums and don't respect them.
Comfort her and convey her you promise to be back, or take her with you.
I guess it's also the thought of being alone that she doesn't want.
If you stayed up to make sure her fever didn't get too giant, I am going to guess she must have been pretty sick. ... I'd blame her sudden attachment on what ever illness she is going through. At 27 I still sometimes cling to my boyfriend if I'm idea very sick. Maybe talk to her and ask if there's anything on her mind worrying her.
If she's still this attached after she has be well for 2 or 3 days, you could email me or ask again and I'll come up with more answers. Like maybe 18 is only a scary age.
She's sick. If I could have my mom comfort me every time I got sick, I would. Not to mention she is 18 (any chance she's going to college and perchance feeling a little hesitant?)
Will I guess she feels closer to you after she was sick. I dont devise its nothing to be wondering about. She loves you very much.
Hope I help.
she prob feel weak and vunerable and when shes around you, you make her feel not dangerous
Answers: Of course. We all want our mothers when we're sick, no matter how antediluvian we are. She is 18 now and probably a little afraid of striking out on her own. She still needs you and is using this opportunity to tolerate you know just how much.
You're actually quite fortunate. I be this way with my mother and she is still my best friend. Neither of us would ever wish to transfer this.
I'm 25 and i'm still the same way. My dad died when I be 8months old and i've had a step dad for 21 years, he was a great provider but we never have that bond and for the first 4 years of my life I was around women...
My parents left for FL on Saturday for a week, it will be the longest i've gone minus seeing my mom in 4 years and i'm house and dog sitting for her and my stepdad and I cried when my mom left (probably has something to do beside being pregnant)..I've always been attached to her, other told her everything and we hang out all the time.I guess we're more like best friends in a minute than anything.I don't get home sick, I get mom sick when I don't see her...And since i'm 35wks pregnant we've become so much closer, I literally count on her like I be a child.I know I shouldn't but she's my mom..Don't get me wrong, I do have my own life, situation and things that don't involve my mom but she's still about 85% of my life...
I think it's great you own such a good relationship with her..
