Question
I am 40 and still live with my mother and her ex-husband (they divorced but he never moved out).  Every time any guy shows an interest in me it is crazy in my house. He starts telling my mother that there might be gossip if it doesn't turn out to be a real relationship, etc. He actually cares more what I do than what she does. How am I ever going to meet anyone if I can't even meet anyone without being stressed out? If a guy can't even come near my house he may think I am married.  I can't move out right now cause I am deeply in debt because she was claiming me while I was in college but not helping me pay, so I got all loans.  The only hope I have is to meet a guy that would be helping me with half the rent. I should be able to meet a guy anyways, I have never even been married.  My mother actually married a bum that was living on the streets, and had him live in her car, while she was living in this house with her ex-husband (who didn't even leave her after this).  She finally got rid of him when she went bankrupt (which she says I shouldn't do).

Answer
Hi Christine, sorry for taking so long to answer.
You need to move out and get your place even if you have to share with someone else than your mother.

This relationship with your mother is not healthy for both of you.

Your mother is in control because you give her the permission.

Your mother is afraid of being alone and so do you yet you can have another roommate other than your mother.
