My Mom...

[chelsay13]

I don't like my mom. It's not because I don't get along with her, like all the other teens in the world, But she's horrible. She goes over to "Bills" house [her friend] ALL the time. He's divorced and has 2 girls, one in my class and the other a year older than my sister. She ISN'T divorced. So she goes over at night and stuff and hangs out till like 11. Even when my friend and her sister aren't home. And then My friend goes to school and tells everyone our mom and dad are "bed buddies". It bothers me. My mom hangs wiht Bill and his family more than mine. Then she refuses to be around my dad or leave the house on the weekends. She NEVER takesme or my sister anywhere and hates to be in the same room with us. She even told Bill and his daughters she had breast cancer BEFORE I found out. In fact, I found out at school when my "friend" was blabbering about it. and then I started cutting and she FREAKS out because I "Never talk to her". I can't stand her. How am I supposed to have an open relationship with her?

This is one of those cases where confronting the problem head on will most likely have the best approach. You need to come right out, confront your mom, and speak your mind, because what she is doing is not going to promote the healthy growth of your family in any way.

If she is feeling an attraction towards Bill, there's not really a way that you can change that. But you can try to get her to refrain and do more things with you. Otherwise, your parents relationship is very likely going to end up in a divorce. Talk to her, and then maybe she will see the error of her ways.

i have. she freaked out because "i shouldn't think that". But i still think that. My little sister thins it too, she's 11, an she cried when she talked to me. My mom just runins everything. And confronting her didn't help.

This sucks man. My mom died of breast cancer when I was very young. Its going to be hard but try making your mom a card on mothers day or calling her to with her happy birthday or merry christmas. It will take time but this might help.

ok, the only way to solve this is to basically put all ur fear and thought and make them gtfo, then confront her and if she tries to blame it on u or evade the topic keep her on line, the only problem is this could go to ways, yey she finally listened or oh Sh!t and u might get in trouble, if u find a better way i suggest to go with the other way, this is more of a u know what last resort

From what you have typed things do not seem right in your family relationship. Its clear that things need to be sorted out, but how to do that.....

Have you tried speaking to your dad?

If he listens then he will be able to speak to your mum as an adult to adult, that way you won't have to worry about getting in trouble off her. Chances are if you have noticed it, he will have to.
