My mom’s boyfriend just broke up with her.

She’s pretty tore up about it. I feel bad for her but am not very good at consoling people in situations such as these. She says she doesn’t want me there to just sit and watch her cry, which i can relate to because i would be embaressed and just want to be by myself. I was going to just leave her alone but i know she will hold it against me in the future, and plus, she’s my mom and she’s sad, she shouldn’t be alone, right? Should i go over to her house or not?

when my mom is upset, she always SAYS she wants to be alone. but noone ever really does. they want comfort and they want someone there to tell them that it will be ok. i always go over to my moms to cheer her up. but there is a trick to it. i dont focuss on the bad that just happend. my mom LOVES taking photos (of me mostly. lol) so i walk in her house, pack up her photography stuff and make her get in my car. then we just go out and enjoy the company of eachother doing the thing she loves. it shows her that life infact does go on and things always can be better then they are. if she wants to talk about the break up then let her bring it up. and if she does bring it up, let her vent and say whatever she feels the need to say.
