Glad to see it. If my 48-year-old mother started dating one of my former classmates, who is 19-years-old, I’d probably cut her off, too.

From Perez Hilton:

“Honestly, I don’t know what to say because I can’t relate to her right now. I’m extremely shocked. I know if I was 48-years-old, I wouldn’t date a 19-year-old. I just don’t feel it’s her. And through all this stuff, I really need my mom, and she’s doing her own thing. I don’t talk to her anymore. I see her at the jail visiting Nick and she asks me why. I say, ‘I don’t condone what you’re doing. I’m on my path, and you’re on your path.’ I told her, ‘I’d love to have you in my life, to see you and talk to you, but the kind of things you’re surrounding yourself with, it doesn’t make sense to me.”

I guess Linda’s got her priorities, and her daughter isn’t as important to her as the 19-year-old sex toy. Does this perhaps give us yet another example that the whole “cougar” movement is steeped in ultra-selfishness? You’d think that Linda might look at how this relationship is affecting her daughter and break it off for the good of her children. But NO. It’s so much more FUN! to date a 19-year-old, regardless of how your children feel about it. Who cares how betrayed and humiliated your daughter feels? You’re happy, and that should make your kids happy, and if it doesn’t, well then, too bad for them. They should be more accepting. Isn’t that right?

As I said,

Oh, and to Brooke? You do not have to support your mom in this. You have every right to tell her how selfish what she is doing is, and how hurt, angry, disgusted, betrayed, and humiliated you feel. You aren’t required to get behind something like this just because your mother has the maturity of a dysfunctional sixteen-year-old.

Glad to see that Brooke’s not hiding her feelings on this one.
