I'm sorry, Babs, for your situation. It sounds like your mom is a pretty terrific person.
You seem to be doing all the things you "should" be doing. But those things can only do so much. Please give yourself some compassion, and don't put pressure on yourself to feel a way you just don't feel.
Have you explained to your boyfriend the way you explained to us? It sounds natural, when your world is being shaken up in one relationship, that you would wish for added security in another. Perhaps your boyfriend could offer you other ways to show his commitment and the stability of your relationship. Perhaps some joing therapy sessions could help him understand better how lost you feel right now.
Best wishes to you, Babs, and please continue to try to take care of yourself as best you can.
