Basically it's always just been my mum & I at home.
But for ten years she's been married to my stepdad. He's the only guy of hers I've ever liked. He was like a dad to me.
I'm 17, and going to university next year.
My mum & stepdad split up two months ago. I won't go into details, but it was messy, and I was there for all of it. It was horrible.
When they were together, my mum never really 'went out'. She met her best friend for coffee every now and then.
But since they broke out she goes out every weekend and a lot of weeknights. She goes to the pub or god knows where else (she often doesn't tell me) and doesn't come home until 4am sometimes, when I'm sat up waiting for her, upset.
If I ever confront her about going out so much all I get is 'grow up, you're 17!'. And other comments. She thinks I'm totally unreasonable. What she doesn't understand is that I'm not used to being sat at home waiting for her. Before, my mum was always around for me. Everything has changed very quickly. Not only that, but she has been meeting men and Lying to me about where she's going. It's hard for me because I loved my stepdad for 10 years.
She doesn't ever want to do anything with me, even when I offer. She'll lie and say she can't afford to go anywhere with me but then she will go out to the pub. There have been times when I've cried and begged her to stay with me and she just thinks I'm being silly. But I am an only child with no other family and she's all I have.
I understand that I'm 17 and maybe need to be more independent. But this has all happened very fast for me. And I still need a mum. (link)

Hey. okay yes you are 17 but honestly, it doesn't matter your age. you are concerned about your mum . you want to spend time with her but its like she's rejecting you. don't worry you aren't alone. my best advice is to sit down at a good time and talk to her about how you feel. maybe find a friend to help you because it might be hard. best of luck!
