Q: My parents and I moved here from Russia. It was hard for us at first. My dad worked and my mom was in school, training to be a nurse for 7 YEARS(she couldn't speak english).

Now she has a job. She's a nurse and gets paid WELL. We're living pretty good. But I barely see my parents, and that is a problem.

Ever since my mom began working, she became OBSESSED with it. She's cancelled so many plans with me and broke so many promises because she would much rather work.

I'm only 14 years old/female, and I never really had a great relationship with my parents. They've always been TOO BUSY. I missed out on so much as a kid. and I am turning 15 next month. and I feel as though my mom would rather make extra money than spend AT LEAST one day with me.

I am bulimic and I have bad mood swings and I am so so so sad, and I am losing many of my friends. I want to be able to at least talk to my mom of all people. It's just so hard. :[
what should I do or say?
I need somebody, especially a mom.

Oh jeeze thats rough, I'm russian too and also swedish and we moved from sweden and my mom had to find a job too and she was really busy with it. I talked to her about how i felt neglected and noone was there for me and she told me she was working to get money so she could support me and make sure she could afford everything i needed. Could that be the case with your mom? Bulemia is very dangerous and i think that you should talk to an adult you trust as soon as you can.. the only way this can be fixed is if you let your mom know how you feel.

hope i helped

thank you
