My parents got divorced four years ago and since then, my mom has been dating. Guy after guy after guy. And I just met someone she's been dating for quite a while. I like him and all, but every time they kiss, it freaks me out and makes me mad. I tell my mom I don't like it when she kisses him, but she just gets mad and kisses on purpose to piss me off. I know I get mad because I've seen her kiss so many guys that I've had enough. If she knew the truth, she would understand. I just don't know how to tell her. What should I do?

    Try a Different Route
    Instead of talking this out with your mom, try her boyfriend. If talking this through with her won't work--maybe talking to her guy can help. Tell him how you feel and either he can completely stop kissing your mom or he can make you feel comfortable around them. Try to understand that your mom needs someone she can count on. Your real father just wasn't "The One." Give your mother a break, she is a girl too! Kissing is natural.

    I get the feeling
    I know it's hard my parents aren't together either and my mom has had it rough, but I think the reason your mom gets mad is because she might really like this guy and she wants to know if he feels the same. And maybe you're mad because it's not your dad. But you have to trust that your mom is just trying to find the right guy. So maybe you should stop worrying about it so much and relax, it might not be as bad as it seems.

    happy
    You have to realize that your mother is does a lot of stuff for you. This guy she is dating is a thing that makes her happy.

    Family
    Well girl don't go crazy over it. Just stay cool and tell your mother that you need to talk to her and tell her how you feel. It always worked when my mother was the same way before she was married. So girl stay strong!

    not around you
    Tell your mom you're happy she's found someone she likes but it kind of feels weird to see them kiss. Then (politely) ask her to wait until you're not around to kiss him. If that fails try to spend less time with your mom when she's with the guy and if all else fails try kissing guys in front of her and see how she likes it... By the way I know how you feel because my mom does it to me too.
