I feel like my mom is a stranger?

im 25 years old, and feel like my mom does not know anything about me. what can i do, please help!

Answer:
Here is an interesting question...how much do you know about her? What do you know about her hopes and dreams? What about her regrets; her past triumphs; her unresolved issues? If you can't answer these questions, perhaps there is a place to start. If you begin to invest time getting to know who she really is, the bridge will be built. I promise it will be an investment that you will never regret.
i felt like that , too. From the time i was about 5. She had this view of who i was that had nothing to do with me.
You could try taking her with you to something you like, but, really , nothing worked for me. I wish you luck.
Talk to her on a phone and ask her what's the day been like then tell her about you.

Then you might want to get to know your mom (again)

But why do you care about your mom so much at 25?
I'm guessing your mom isn't the open and chatty type so perhaps trying to have a deep conversation right away might not work. How about coming up with some activities to do together. Take her to a show or to the movies. Cook together, work out together or do what she likes doing. Once you've spent some time doing things together, you will start to develop a rapport and comfort with one another. Talking and learning about each other can come from there. I suggest asking her questions about herself rather than just giving her a speech about yourself.
well you need to take a day off and do somthing with her like go out to lunch and talk with her, you may find out somthing that you never knew about your mom.
At some point, you and your mom have to recreate your relationship. Once she accepts, truly accepts you as an adult, then the two of you can start on this. Some parents have a hard time relating to their descendants on an adult to adult level.

My sons are 29 and 32. The older one has kids and is pretty wrapped up in the life of someone with a young family. My youngest is one of my favorite friends to hang with.
Lots of things could be happening. Do you live with or near her? She may think you have your own life and has "let you go". Most people I know are happy when their mom isn't breathing down their back. If you live near, visit and go to lunch together. Is she single? Trying to date as a mom can be awkward. Just talk to her. Good luck!
Maybe she's an Alein
