Is it normal i love my teacher like a second mum!

Hey
I was just wondering- is it normal that i love my teacher? She is always there for me when I need help and always seems to have enough time to listen to me. I was going through a stage when I was unwell due to my eating disorder and i couldn't tell my mum. She was the one who helped me and told me I was beautiful. I genuinely do love this woman and i know she has her own daughters but i would just love her to be my mum.

Also, when a member of my family was really unwell, she calmed me down and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and made me feel so much better. She is more than a teacher to me.
She always hugs me (not in a horrible way) and tells me how special I am and that I remind her very much of one of her own daughters.

I was just wondering is this normal for me to love her like this (NOT in a weird way) and do you think she loves me?

Thank you! Xxx

    I teach kids and love them dearly when I'm teaching them but ... the next year I can't tell you their names :( It sounds like she is a real friend when you need help but please don't read too much into it coz she probably has at least one special student each and every year. She justs want you to do well in your life and helping you through a difficult time. I'm sure she would be flattered to know how much you value her, but hopefully she is helping you to combat your fears and face life's problems as they come your way.

    I'm sure she will always be happy if she sees you around though :o)

    Hi,
    I have the same sort of relationship with my Maths teacher she gets me but that could also have something to do with we both have OCD, a love for maths and she lives in the same area as me.She has warmed to me since the start of the year even though neither me or her had any idea that the opposite had OCD, a love for Maths and that we live in the same area but thats another story. I think she must know you and your family quite well and just wants the best for you, you must be a nice person and good at whatever she teaches you too. It's totally normal but be careful in case if you tell her how you fell she may try to give you the opposite idea by not idolising you so much or not paying much attention to you because she doesn't feel the same way

    I had the same choir teacher from middle school until my last year of high school. He became like my second dad. :) As a matter of fact I still talk to him every now and then through email, and we (the girls and I) always try to make it to choir concerts so we can see what he's done with all the new students. While Joybird does have a point that some teachers do usually forget names and have a special student per semester etc, I dont believe thats the case for all of them. Some, like my choir teacher, genuinely take an interest in you and seek to be support for you when you need it. I mean, i've been out of high school for four years and like I said before, I still talk to my choir teacher!! :)

    Its totally normal btw.
