marieclaire agony auntremember as well that the reason she wants to come out with you at night is probably because she doesn't want to be at home alone with her grief and lonliness. think about that for awhile

marieclaire agony auntyour mom is going through a very very tough time. my mother fell apart when her mother died. if you were having a tough time i'm sure your mother would be there for for how ever long you needed her. she's very vulnerable right now and you need to make things up with her. MissKin is right when she says you need to include your mother in your life.

MissKin agony auntShe's an adult but she's human too. Don't just push her away. She obviously needs you, so give her some of your time. Go shopping together. Have lunch together. But talk to her like an adult, be reasonable. Let her know you love her and want to be there for her, but you all need your own space too and that doesn't mean she isn't allowed to be involved with your life, it just means you need to have some of your own things.

When people pass away, sometimes it can hit you hard and make you realise your age... and make you act like you're 18 again. Try to give her a bit of a break and not get so mad about it. Talk it through until it's resolved.
