Hello everyone. I’m 19 years old male and bachelor student at university. I’ve had messed up childhood and I don’t have a great relationship with my actual family, I’ve broken my relationships with them since my age 12. And I want to emphasize that I didn’t like any teacher in my school life, even I hated some of them. So, I’ve never had a role model for me that I looked up to. However, last year I met one of the best persons in the world. She was my first teacher in my university life, and when I was thinking about suicide - her existence saved my life. She inspired me so much, I’ve learned so much priceless things from her. After several months passed I started to see her as my mother, it was so deep to me because she was the first elder person that I love and respect kindly. As someone- who had messed up childhood and family, was kicked out on the streets - all the things were amazing to me, she was amazing to me. Whenever I see her I always get happy and her existance in my life makes my life better. I’m thinking about to tell my story and my feelings about her, because all I needed in my life was that person, that MOTHER. Please dont get it wrong, she has a great family and im not feeling any romantic feelings towards to her. I love her as motherly way, because in my whole life I always had poor relationship with my mother. What should I do? Is it normal? Should I tell my story and my feelings to her? What would be her reaction?

    I'm sure she would love to hear how she was able to help you out so much. As long as boundaries are respected, I don't see any issues with telling her that.

      Thank you for encouraging me. I’m definitely thinking about telling her my feelings, but I don’t know what would be her reaction. She has a cute daughter, I know that she is so emotional person, maybe she would get angry, maybe she wouldn’t care. All I want is to keep her happy because I love, care, respect her so much. That’s why I’m too confused, I don’t know what should I do. I hope she would understand my situation. Again, thank you for your answer and encouraging me.
