About a year and a half ago, I met somebody while playing an MMORPG. Since then, he has been a father figure and, essentially, an actual father to me (he’s 40, I’m 16). The relationship is not sexual in any way whatsoever (he has a wife), and we fit perfectly together because of his background (having lost a daughter) and mine (having divorced parents). He gives me support, love, and advice. However, we wish to take this a step further an eventually push for adult adoption in a few years. The only thing is, I’ve yet to tell my mother this. Should I, and if so, how do I break it to her without sounding like a complete freak of a teenager with mental and relationship issues? Thanks.
