Hi my name is Catalina. I am 16 and live in Texas and my LD boyfriend is 19 but he is about to turn 20 and he lives in Illinois. I met him through my ex-boyfriend while we were still dating, he and I talked a lot and after I broke up with my old boyfriend he asked me out. He and I aren't able to see each other because it is too expense to. My SO doesn't have a house of his own (he lives with his friend or his parents) so it would be best if he moved down here with my mom and I.
I have to tell my mom about him first though... :/ She has always been very accepting of my choices and allowed for me to make my own life decisions, but I am absolutely terrified to tell her. But I want to tell her as soon as I can because keeping it a secret causes a lot of stress and the longer I wait to tell my mom the more impatient my SO gets and he is constantly sad that I haven't told my mom and that he can't be with me.
My plan to tell my mom about my LDR right now is:
1. Take any opportunity to try to convince my mom that LDRs are not bad.
2. Meet his parents over skype during the winter break.
3. Wait until I turn 17 then tell my mom.
I know that this isn't a very good plan so I would really appreciate some advice.
