dawn_smile Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I no my prob;lem isnt as serious as other but it still bothers me...my family are good 2 me in a way of buying me new stuff im never left without altough i cant help feeling angry at my mom she says she never gets thnked for being bascially a mom where as she does and if she asks me to do something i will gladly do it. although she doesnt ask and moans wen it is not done i try 2 expalin that if she asks i will do it although she aslways has 2 b right and if i try 2 get my point across she shouts and me and calls me cheeky or names not that bad names but they still hurt my feelings and i gt grounded etc. she only ever sees the bad side of things and i miss out on my activitys what my friends do because of this. she says she only wants 2 protect me which i no is understandable but you can never protect your child forver..how will i ever learn? i just get so upset when she continously shout and she rearly expresses her love and never sees that i am a good child compared to others my age. i relalise i am lucky to have a ggo family enviorment but just wanted some advie and when i tell her she hurst my feelings i just get told to stop being so pathetic and harden up or being a baby. thank you.

Fayebelle Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Poor dear- are you an only child? Just guessing cuz I was a lonely only raised by just my mother and we had a lot of these same probs. 1st you can write your mom a letter just like what you wrote here so she can look it over when she's calm and understand how you feel. 2nd you may want to discuss w/ another family member who can intervene on your behalf. As for doing stuff for her- I played that "but you didn't tell me" thing too. It doesn't work. When you're home- look around- Does the hose need dusting? Are there dirty dishes or laundry? Take the initiative and do what needs to be done. You know what will help her so just do it. So what if you end up doing a chore she didn't have planned for you- That's a good thing. Also people tend to treat you as well as you treat them. Try dong some extra nice things for her like leaving her notes or helping with dinner - just to show you care. All relationships are 2 way streets - even ones w/your parents. It is nice to see you are mature enough to appreciate everything your fam does for you- Now make sure you show them that you notice. Good luck and check in if this doesn't help. Link to post Share on other sites
