Why does my cousin cry his mom ?

Question

i have an 11 year old cousin thats turning 12 soon. hes very loving and caring. He has a lot of friends [if that helps] and he lieks to spend time with his family. But theres a problem. He takes care of his mom to much. Like i mean she gets out of work at 5:00. and hes calling her on the phone at 5:05 asking her why shes not home yet ? and if she doesn`t answer he starts crying, thinking something happened to his mom .she sometimes finds 10 missing calls from him. Is this an obsessive problem or fear that he keeps inside ? please help. this worrys me. !

[[ im using my moms account so don`t get confused]]

Answer 1

You are right to worry. He is controlling, needy, and clingy. If this isn't fixed now, he will do the same with any girlfriend and then a wife. While the Mom may think it is sweet, she needs to put an end to this kind of behavior or he will drive away any relationship he has with women and also with his male friends.  

Answer 2

You do not speak of a dad his is there.  If  not that might be your answer.  He definitely is insecure about something...

Answer 3

its because he loves his mom so much and he doesnt wanna see her hurt or sumthing and chances are he prolly lost something or someone he really loved and he doesnt weant that to happen to his mom!!

Answer 4

He definatly has a fear of losing his mom.  He needs to know she's near to he can find comfort.  Maybe it would help if his mom would call him right when she gets off work.  He he continues to cling to his mom it may be best to have him talk to a counselor.

Answer 5

he could be just a bit immature, and will grow out of it soon

hopefully his parents are fully aware of things and if they think he needs counseling or something they can take care of it

just try to be supportive of him and don't tease him about it, that could make it worse

Answer 6

Probably feeling insecure. He must be very close to his mom, and maybe he will grow out of it but it does take time. Have his mom to explain to him that although taking care of family members is important but not to the point of being paranoid and obsessive. Good luck with this matter!

Answer 7

maybe he is depressed about something ? has something bad happened?

when i lost a close relative i got super attached to my mum because i feared loosing her too.
