Is it normal i attach to people and see them as a mother like figure
Okay, we'll when I was about 7 years old my mum started to change she became ill, mentally and later physically, my dad worked away for about 10 months not aware that she was starting to fall apart at this point things where pretty bad I was nearly 9 and I had a 1 year old brother and a new born sister, she would leave the house for days and I would be left to care for my siblings, she also would beat me when I never told her the answer she wanted when asked a question even If it was the right one I always felt like she didn't want me, when my dad was home he was never really there because they would argue and my mum would kick him out, she would play with the to younger kids now and again and if I tried to join in and was told to get out the way, eventually we moved to a different area with my dad but he would always take her back and she would always hit me I was around the ages of 11-13 I would go to bed thinking about taking my own life because I felt like know one would care if I was dead or alive and cry myself to sleep most nights, one day I ran away from her a couple of days after I turned 14 when I came back she beat me and because of how bad it was she was not able to hide this one and my dad finally told her to leave for good, she now has her own house about 20 minutes away she has seen doctors and had a lot of help and there was times I could talk to her for hours and she was there for me and I felt normal like my mum was like everyone else's now, but she will then have times where she does not make an effort and its like she does not even know you anymore, sometimes I think it would be easier if she was gone for good because she has let me down time and time again the last time she even spoke to me was the end of February and she was fine she talks to my dad and she has my brother ad sister over to stay with her but she does not even talk to me, anyway when I start to get to know someone new an older woman like a teacher and a boss I start to see them as a mother figure when I left school I was depressed because I knew I would never see that 1 teacher again and then when I went in to a training program an I had to go on a placement I was actually crying because I would have to leave the people around me I feel I get to emotenally attached and I think it roots back to the lack of a mother role in my life but its horrible because I get so drained and upset that these people in my life could have been my idea of a perfect mum instead of the let down I was landed with I don't know if it is normal to have these feeling or if its my way of coping and is there anyway to stop these feelings
