Is it normal for my mom to act this way?

My mom is affectionate and clingy to the point that it's embarassing. I'm a teenage now and she still always holds my hand, kisses me and calls me names like "sweetie pie" and "pumpkin" and says I'm her "best friend". To make matters worse, I'm half black and I look full black, and my mom is white and very young, so people think she's my girlfriend when we go somewhere because we look nothing alike. It's very embarrassing!

My mom's also very immature. She loves disney and is vainly obsessed with shopping and cries all the time over the littlest things. I put up with it all though because I love her and i understand why she behaves how she does. My "dad" used to be her best friend, until he raped her and she had me, so I'm the only person she really trusts. I realize she's very dependent on me and I love her despite all her immaturity because she's an amazing and caring mom. And I know she hasn't got the opportunity to grow up since my father took it away from her, so that's why she is immature and acts half her age.

How can I help my mom make new friends and learn to trust others better? I love her and I want her to be happy.

    Be articulate in the way you convey things to her, just like you have in this post.

      I agree, this calls for a heart to heart, but tread carefully at first, she might act negitively at first thinking ur want to push her away, but stick with it. I'm sure understand that's ur just asking for her to be a bit more modest with the clingy affection

    NOTICE IT: BEING A BAD BOY IS EASY, BUT BEING THE GOOD ONE HAS ITS CHALLENGES. nothing is easy in this world like making our parents happy, but that's where the hard work. parents have their own ways to show their love. if one of embarassing things is because you both are different in colors, then tell me what will u do to change it way better? painting all out your mom's body or yours? that's impossible, isn't that? dont give a fuck of what others think or say about you and your mom. even if your mom was all black, you'd still get fucked over by others words. or even if your mom was mature enough to act like not easily crying over lil things, you'd still get other problems, even worse than now.

    so my advice to u:
    1. be grateful for what u have around u, bcoz when u lose it later u will regret it for not appereciate it before.
    2.thank to your mom everyday in everything she does for u. imagine if she didnt love u since you're born, she'd has been throwing you away in trash. why didnt she do that? bcoz she loves u and that's why she raised u up.
    3. Be patient on what your mom does. no one is perfect. u said your mom acts like a child. imagine how she looked after you when you were child and how childish you were. but she never complaint nor got upset nor angry at you. instead she's been loving you for who you are and never cared about others say. imagine how patient and great she's been all this time.
    4. NEVER GIVE A FUCK OF OTHERS. they dont feed you, they didnt deliver u in this world, they dont even care when you're down and at your worst. the one who will always be with u in your all situations is MOM. so cheer up yourself and say this in front of your mirror "DON'T UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER OF NOT GIVING A FUCK!"
