My mother has always been a negative part in my life. And as much as she says she wants me to be happy, I really don't get a feeling like she wants me to be happy in my life. She has not dated in 15 or so years because she used the excuse of raising me, but since I dated this guy, she seems to be negative towards that and doesn't want me to date him. She says I am settling for him when really I am giving him a chance until he screws up. I don't settle for no one. So, what do I do when my mother is so unhappy with her life that it seems like she wants me to go down the same path.
