y Mom passed away 2 years ago and my Aunt, who lives locally, is wacky and runs hot and cold at times. I am friendly with my friend's step Aunt (they have no relationship at all) who is old enough to be my mother - about 24 years older than me. I could tell when we met that she really took a liking to me. She would make comments to others in front of me like "she should/could be my daughter" a few times. She has even said to me "are you sure we're not related?" I think she wishes I was her daughter in a way...lol. We have bonded and get together for dinner.
It is nice to have her, even though I am an adult, it's nice to have someone older to talk to other than my friends in my age group. She stated in an email that I "am a wonderful young woman". I told her that she is my "adopted" favorite aunt! I didn't want to say she's a mom to me, cuz my mother can't really be replaced, and I didn't want to be disrespectfull to my deceased mother. Her family is quite dysfunctional, so we kinda made our own family! I guess no matter how old we are, we still need a mother or aunt in our lives!
Has anyone had an experience like this?
