How to deal with my mum??

I'm in a LDR with someone who's 11 years younger.In the beginning I had a real problem with the age difference.My mum had no idea how to deal with it all and just thought it was a fase I was going trough and that we weren't serious.

I went to see my YM on November 7th and I had a great time and realised that the age thing isn't an issue for me anymore.I'm really happy with him and love him very much.

When I was away I called my mum and told her how great things were between us and she sounded really happy.Ever since I've been back I've been trying to talk to her about it,but when I bring up the subject she doesn't respond or she starts to talk about something else.I went to pick up my photos last week and it took me so much effort to sat her down and let her see them.She went trough them so quick that I couldn't even tell my story.

I'm going to see my guy in January and yesterday I told her and the only thing she said was:you do what you want to do.It really hurts that she's behaving like this.I can't share my happiness with her because she doesn't want to know.I've tried so many times that I don't know what to do anymore.Sometimes I just think,why bother just let it be.

I have no idea why she's doing this.My friend says she's scared that I decide to move away(he's from Turkey) and be with him.I can understand that she's worried and scared about that,but if she would just open up to me and tell me what's bothering her.

What should I do???

Thanks for telling my story!!

dolphin...just let her be. talk about it in every day conversation, not as a "main" topic...just chitchat. let her become comfortable with the whole idea.
my husbands parents pretty much clammed up and freaked on him. they too hoped it would pass. ya know how the dutch are...you don't even move outta your town! my husbands family had a real hard time with it, and they had hoped i would move to the netherlands

As I have said before, my mom never got used to it. Or the rest of my family as far as that goes. Hubbys family never accepted me either.....Oh well...we are very happy. Been together over 12 years now. I dont get it. But I definately wasted to much time trying to please and figure them all out. Maybe your mom is still trying to get used to the idea or maybe she is afraid of you moving away. At any rate I hope she will accept the fact that you are happy. ;)

Thanks for your input.I've always been very close to my mum so for me it's so difficult not to talk to her about this.

I don't care what other people have to say(family/friends)but I do care what she has to say.She's very important in my life.

I talk to her almost daily and I do mention Taylan and things that are going on in his life(not that she's responding to any)but I do want her to feel like she's still in the picture and that I want her to be involved in our lives.I don't think there's anthing else I can do.
