engraved2008 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 ](*,)My boyfriend is a brain cancer survivor.He was operated when he was 14 years old and its a miracle he is alive.He survived the operation.Thank god.I do love him dearly and i would be there for him for good and bad even though he is healthy and strong However because of his childhood ilness he is very attached to his mother.i repeat i do love him..she is good to me,its just i feell like i do not know how to deal with the situation since she is so overprotective.Also he feells obligated to her for the times she s been there for him.He is 27 years old.How would you deal with a brain cancer survivor ? I sincerely care for him and want to love him,i just dont know how ! He is like a child in a mans body ? How would you do it? Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 What exactly to you mean by "child in a man's body" and what do you mean by his mother being over-protective and that he feels obligated to her. Link to comment
engraved2008 Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 I mean like,i moved in to be with him,and we all live together since he has a big house.I mean he makes choices with his mother and then with me.I feel he is is still a child in this way.An yes he helps her financial.He does not consider us living away from her.am just scared about this.

BriarRose Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 She took care of him when he had cancer (unlike my mother). Of course he is attached to her. I think they will always be close and you need to accept that. Link to comment
