I'm in a semi LDR with my boyfriend who is just over three and a half hours away on the train.
I'm in the year below, and he's just started university.
I think he'll be coming back in his reading week during October, but since it's his birthday in November, I was hoping to go up that weekend and celebrate with him also.
The problem is my mother. She is point blank refusing to accept that I want to go. She says she's not stopping me, but I don't have her blessing. Meaning that I'd need to find my own way to the station (keeping in mind I can't drive yet since I've only been 17 for a couple of months now). She doesn't want me to be getting trains late at night, which I said I didn't have to. I have frees after my third lesson on Fridays, meaning I could catch at train a 2, and be there at just after 5. My boyfriend says he would meet me at the station. And then, coming back on Sundays, I suggested I could get a 12 o'clock train, meaning that getting there and back would be in the daylight. Despite this, she still won't listen.
The train journey there involves 1 change, I haven't taken many train journeys, so I can understand why she's concerned, but she's so over the top. She described herself as 'livid' and 'not condoning it'. And then one thing in particular that really annoyed me was 'you've got all these universities and the thing at the top of your head is a bloke'.
I've been working on UCAS application everyday since I've been back at the sixth form, and I'll probably be sending it off next week, I've told my mum this, but she just doesn't seem to care.
I don't mean to come off as whiney, but only being able to see him in holidays is going to be so hard, when telling my mum this, she just mocked me.
I'd really appreciate any advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation.
Thanks.
