I need major advice because I've let it get to such a point it's extremely unhealthy.
So me and my parents never really talked things through emotionally. Yes of course I loved them, they've given me incredible opportunities in life like attending a private school with a bursary, food and roof over my head. But they've never been the support your kids emotionally sort of parents. They're also extremely religious so any issue I've had (and trust me I've had issues) they tell me to pray it away and shrug it off. So silly me, in search of a mother figure, reassurance, validation, whatnot, got attached to one of my teachers. (Not in like a sexual way mind you). I literally have to repeat to myself as a mantra every day 'she's your teacher not your makeshift mother' and every day I cry. Like it's that bad. I can't just avoid her either because she's gonna be my A-Level teacher for two years (I had her prior for GCSE). But how do I break an attachment from someone I cannot necessarily break loose from? Also I just don't want to... I feel listened to by her and I can say anything around her and she's not gonna judge me and always offer her support. Stop it's literally so embarrassing like obviously those taking GCSE exams had extended summers and like I'm just a mentally unstable individual generally so if I'm dealing with anything she is the first point of call but obviously I can't talk to her cause it's summer break so I kinda just like imagine what she would say and flashback to previous conversations I had. Anyway I've waffled on too much. Point being...help?!
