Dealing with guilty conscience, because my mum is so sad
Hey
I will get my bike tomorrow (I HOPE!) and I just ordered my REV'IT Pioneer Outdry boots which was delivered today to my parent's house.
I am 26 years old and my mum always was one of the worried kind of person whenever I go for a trip (I do backpacking for 6 years now and drove scooters in SEA many times [she doesn't know how crazy the traffic is and that I drove^^]).
Now, everytime the topic "motorcycle" comes up she's instantly becoming very opressive. Like whenever she's reminded of the fact that I will start riding soon she gets really worried and sad.
The problem is that I don't want my mum to feel like that and this makes me feeling guilty. I suddently am afraid of having a bad crash not because of my own live (if it happens, it happens) but because my mum won't be able to handle that and break down most likely.
If i asked her why she's sad, she just said that she is tired by work and everything is fine but that's a lie.
How do you guys handle that? I mean for me, it's all about a few rides around the block at first, maybe a weekend trip but you guys travel for months... any advices?
