my mom is in jail for six months for a financial crime and I am her 14 year old daughter. I was thinking of how things will be when she comes back home ,isn't kind of weird now that now she is a criminal that went to jail and she will order me around? I mean isn't that kind of hypocritical (kind of funny as well since she was being ordered around for the past five months). I have no problem with her though as other than this misdeed she has been a good mom to me.



also, is this weird, I have talked to my on the phone while she is there and for some reason I feel more comfortable being open with her about anything now then when she was actually here. Any reason why I would feel that way now?

I wouldn't ever use that against her, I think that would cross a line if you called her a hypocrite or something. She's still your mom, and it' not like she's a lifelong criminal, so your relationship should really stay the same as it was before.
