Polymath:

My mother was the same way, but not quite so bad. Just call her everyday. It’s not so bad. I would even call my mom wasted. That is to say “Hi, mom, i’m okay and I still call you, but I’m wasted, which means I have my own life.” Best of luck.

:p

yeah, she’ll get over it. my mom did. i live only about an hour and twenty minutes from home, and for the first 2 months of college, my mom wanted me to come home every 2 or 3 weeks. then i realized how much i missed at school just being gone for the weekends. after that, i’d go home maybe once a month or less often. then towards the end of the school year, especially after spring break, i didn’t go home for 2 months at a time, which considering how close i live, is quite a while.

and throughout all this, my mom pretty much just got used to the increasing intervals–between visits home and calls. it was hard for her at first, but she did ok. granted that your mom isn’t truly psycho, she will (or at least should) too.
