Hello,
I actually don't know how to entitle this subject. This discussion is quite delicate and sensible so I will go directly to it. I'm 18, currently studying in a quite good school and my program is very difficult and stressful. My mother (we aren't native and she divorced) quit her job to come here and stay with me during these difficult periods. But we don't actually have legal papers and my mother has to stay in an old man 's house. The man's about 70 and my mom is 45. I don't agree on there relationship though there hasn't been anything. The man asked for my mom's sentiment once but she refused. It has been a while since he asked. But that man keeps offering his help to my mom, making her dependent on him ( he suggests to drive my mom to anywhere she needs to go, he always insists on giving my mom a drive, he enjoys going to supermarket with my mom, he enjoys involving in her activities, he enjoys involving in the conversation between me and mom which makes me pretty mad). Since she has to spend times with him, starts to change her point of view and has more common points with him. Every weekend I go home, I can talk very little to her, because she doesn't support my scientific studies, she prefers I study arts and litterateur, she seems ignore everything I say and only laughs with him. I feel like being replaced, and Really pissed of. ( even though he is nice) I just don't like the fact that he is as old as my grandpa and he is very graceless. I don't know how to react to this situation, I really need to calm down and concentrate on my study right now, but these things keep messing with me. I really need an advice, please help me find a way out.
