Oh god I feel so sorry for you :( some women do not have any class or dignity and its such a shame that you are related. She should have been more sensitive about your feelings and seeing your ex is just a horrible thing for a mother to do. Have you discussed this with her? Does she know how much this bothers you?Maybe you could suggest a day out and help her pick more suitable clothes or even just let her know (in as nice a way as possible) that everyone is mocking her. There is nothing wrong with an older woman showing her sexuality or even being with a younger man it seems to be the done thing these days but there is a difference between being sexual and being a slut. I think you should explain this to your mother. I hope you can sort something out but someone especially at that stage in life should definetly have stayed away from her young daughters ex???Good luck I hope you can help her get her act together x

I agree with SoVeryConfused, however, she shouldn't be taking on your EX's that's just in the rule book. I'd never do that to a friend. Also these guys know it'll be smooth sailing having sex with someone who probably can't get pregnant, only wants sex, no strings attached, can walk away with no regrets because there is no LTR happening.So these ex's are your leftovers. Let them be Ex's.You are young and probably looking for more than just sex.You'll find the right guy that suits both of your futures.Don't get to down on your mom, she's meeting her needs, that's cool. But you should be able to move forward and find the Right guy, not just any guy. In the meanwhile let mom live her life while you pursue yours. I don't think you have to express your feelings because those can change like the tides.

why does your mom being a sexual being bother you so much? I feel your embarrassement but your mom is just being a woman. Women in their 50s have sex drives to match men in their 20s. Nature has a sense of humor....
I'm 51, I dress cute.. my boyfriend prefers me in short skirts but I like them just above my knees... or in tight jeans... my boobs sag as does my belly from birthing and nourishing my children but it's what WOMEN do. I have a 37 year old boyfriend who thinks I'm great and who has sex with me every chance he get...sometimes 3 or 4 times in a day.... (we are long distance so we make up for lack of daily contact on the weekends)....
So what's pathetic? your single mom dating younger men for sex or the fact that your ex finds your mom attractive enough to have sex with her...
seriously I hear your pain and embarrassment... but I'm not sure WHY this bothers you so much...
