uhm mommy much?
I always used to sleep with my mom. She would lay in bed with me. I am currently 14, and she still does. I tried to tell her i dont want to and she listened but i was up all night, couldnt sleep and started to cry. I feel pathetic, and idk i want to know how to feel more...independant. thanks

Im fourteen and I have this blanket. Its like a huge comforter and I call it Clowny. I usually refer to it as 'him' (dont read too far into that, ive had him since i was three) and I absolutely can NOT sleep without him. Im not even embarrassed anymore when I go to sleepovers or anything. Hes THAT important to me! And I take him in the car when I go for blood work. I hate doctors "]
But I mean, it isnt really a security issue with me. He just smells like my house. He smells like my mom. That might sound weird, but it just smells good! Its like, it reminds me of home I guess.
But even still, I have my mom sleep with me. Ill be fifteen at the end of the month. And Ive gotten better. Ive redecorated my room so my bed is just a boxspring and a mattress on the floor and at night my mom sleeps on a foldout chair beside me. Every night!
Sometimes Im up until after midnight waiting for her to come home from helping my aunt with errands or something, just so she can tuck me in bed. And yes. I cry. I still cant stay over a friends house for more than a night. And I hate summer camp. Ahh gosh
But just so you know, youre sooo not alone.
I dont have much advice, never do, but Im good for sympathy. And I just dont feel right for not responding to a question I can relate to, ya know? Good luck. And sweet dreams "DD

First off, don't feel pathetic. I'm 16 and I still sleep with a night light =X
Anywho...like Mangy said below, it's probably a security issue. It's all in your mind. Try having your mom lay with you until you fall alseep, and then letting her go back to her own bed or someplace else.
Either that, or try sleeping with a night light, or your door open or a teddy bear or something else that can help give you a sense of security.
Good Luck! =]

Well, it's a security issue. Don't feel pathetic- I slept with my baby blanket for 28 years. Yep. I curled up with Blankie until I got married.
It was hard to sleep, but after a while I got used to the whole idea and sleep came easy.
It just takes time for your mind to adjust to something new like that. Mom in bed= Security. Just like my security blanket.
Maybe try to put on a dim light or a night light for a while and see if that helps. I know, sounds silly, but it may work for you. Or, you can try getting a large stuffed animal and put that in bed with you so you still have the feel of laying next to something.

Well I am curently 14 also and i used to sleep with my mom until i was 6 . Theres one time when you have to let go and try , i underdtand you tried but if you tried counting numbers or counting sheep or whatever it doesnt work, it just keeps you counting and not wanting to stop .
it'll take hard work . but i think you can do it
