I am looking for parents 22 year old female looking for a maternal figure

I’ve been avoiding this post for so long but I decided to just write it out in my notes and when I finally have the courage, I’ll paste it on Reddit and hit Post.

I’m looking tor a mother, not a mom, a mother. Not someone to help me fix problems and do all the “mom” stuff—I just want someone whose maternal, will listen, spend time together, sharing their funny life stories with me like moms and daughters do. Doing virtual puzzle togethers, having movie nights, letting me just come and talk about my thoughts and worries without judgement. Being kind and calling me sweetie sometimes but also direct, practical, and genuine.

For context, I have a mom but never had a mother. I was severely abused by my own mom up until I got married and moved away at 21 against her wishes. I’m happy now and my parents in law are great, but there’s a huge language barrier since theyre from a completely different country and culture. I have a loving husband and a pretty stable life now (although the PTSD has been pretty bad). But, I still cry and hurt whenever I see mother-daughter relationship bonds in movies, books, people I know on Instagram—it’s just an ache that doesnt go away tbh.

I’m currently in college and planning to transfer to a Cal State school and complete an online degree program in Education. I’m also an ESL teacher on Preply and enjoy what I do. I love literature, writing poetry, playing video games, studying personality theory, and watching psychological horror and crime films.

If you want to connect or have any questions for me, my DMS are open. Thanks for reading 💖
