I posted of my troubles with my mother here...Link .

I have had a friend over to play the cricket season as an international amateur from April. Yesterday was his last day at the cricket club he has been playing at and emotions were running very high. All his teammates were saying how much he would be missed. I had a little cry at the party, then when I went back to the place he is staying and cried like crazy when it was time to say goodbye. Even though he comes every season, I have only known him since April through a good friend of mine who has him stay at her house but he is a lovelly lovely person...couldn't really ask for more out of someone. We got really close and I started popping in to see him even when my friend was at work. We had a close friendship but nthing more. After I said goodbye last night I came home still ccrying my eyes out and my mother was on msn to her husband. She just looked at me, asked what was wrong, tutted and got back to chatting with her husband. So I told her I hated her which at this point is very true.

Are you actually a Nanny by profession as your name suggests?
If so I would actively seek a live-in postion and distance yourself from your mother. You two are too emotionally intertwined it seems to me and at this stage in your life you need some distance from her.

hi suzy, thanks for your suggestion. Yes I am a nanny yet the lack of available placements at the moment is ridiculous! I have settled for a customer service role in a call centre for now which will hopefully bring in enough cash to enable me to rent my own accomodation.

oh, I 'm sorry to hear that. It seems like you've got a good focus to get your own place - good luck to you. I know it's hard not to get wound up by Mums ( I had to move 12000 kilometres not to be wound up by mine) but just hold on to the thought that you will be away from her soon and may be able to work out a less intense relationship that serves you both well once you get that distance between you.
