Being an old fashioned parent myself....it might be that she hoped you and your boyfriend would take a trip down the marriage lane, before a trip out of state to live...
I would say that what she did was better than flipping out on you in the restaurant in front of everyone. I would call her, and then try and talk to her. She's probably just shocked, and sad that you're leaving and that she doesn't have much time to say goodbye.
Serves you right.
I have a feeling this isn't the first time?
Mother does not approve!
That immature and selfish of her, she has to let her kids grow up, they're adults and she has no say or influence over what she may or may not do. She's acting like a brat just getting up and leaving instead of enjoying the rest of the time with her child and being happy for her
Never mind, I just saw the follow-up.
Maybe she's just really upset that your leaving just give her some time to calm down

Maybe she wanted more than 2 weeks notice that you were leaving.
That changes my opinion a little! We're a military family, so I understand short notice. Doesnt make it any easier for your mom to process though... Especially if you havent discussed marriage with him your mom may be worried about you leaving to follow a boy you have no commitment with. Hopefully it all works out!!
