Ok this is just my opinion when I try to think how I would feel as your mother, as A mother. You know how scared you are about your childs first day at school, scared that they will miss you, scared that they won't find any friends, scared that they won't like school? You know how scared you are that you are going to be on your own without them there anymore? I think there are many times throughout our lives as parents where we go through these feelings. Even times that have nothing to do with our children where there are changes in our lives, big changes that make everything different, like getting married, moving to a new area, starting a new course at college or getting a new job, these things all instil fear and anxiety even in the sanest of people.

I think these are the things your mum is going through now at the thought of you moving. Her life is going to be different. She will not have you all around all the time anymore. She will have time on her own, free time with nothing to fill it. (She will get used to this and find new things of course just the same as we all adjust to those other changes I already mentioned) and it probably won't even take that long. Once the break has been made things will get better you just need to all bear with it for now. It's a little easier for you because though you are leaving her you are keeping familiar things with you, your boyfriend and child. She is not keeping any of that. You have the support of your boyfriend to reassure you that this move will be good for you all and that your life will now be happy. Your mum does not have that.

Now I could be wrong about all this, but that's what I think. I hope that you can try to be understanding of her and that your understanding will help her accept and adjust easier.
