ElmosBrightStar answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 5:22 pm: Go to your dad's or a close neighbor, and tell them what is going on. Don't go home to a neglectful family. And for the vibrator / sex deal. Throw it out, and get rid of all the condoms. That will show them. [ ElmosBrightStar's advice column | Ask ElmosBrightStar A Question ]
ncblondie answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 1:53 pm: Try to sit down with your mom and tell her your feelings calmly. If she still refuses to be a part of your lives and be a mother, then you need to talk to a trusted adult. What she's doing is called neglect. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
Susan answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 8:59 am: Depending on your age, you can get help from Child Services in your home State. Sadly not every mother is a good one, so the question is whether to have a bad one or none at all. You can always speak to your counselor at school and perhaps they can talk to your Mom. Either way you're lucky you have your sister, and both of you sound very mature and I'm sure you'll both learn a great deal from this experience. [ Susan's advice column | Ask Susan A Question ]
redderthentomatoes answered Wednesday July 13 2005, 4:38 am: Sit her down and force her to listen to you. Tell her that she is not taking her responsibility as a parent seriously, and one of the staff at your school has threatened to call child services. Be vague, and refuse to name names. Tell her that your really worried. [ redderthentomatoes's advice column | Ask redderthentomatoes A Question ]
darcyrocks answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 3:44 pm: First of all, this is rediculous. As a mother, I couldn't imagine staying out all night when my child is home with the flu. I hope you were okay.
I think you should talk to your mother about this. Tell her you just love her so much and you miss being with her, and you miss her loving you back. Explain these things to her without attacking her. That is important!! You don't want to attack her, otherwise she'll put up a defense, she'll find everything little thing you and your sister do wrong, and turn it around on you. You just want to approach her nicely and lovingly.
IF she doesn't change in a couple of weeks, then you should probably go to a family member. Like a Grandmother or an Aunt. Or even your Dad if he's around. Explain to them the situation and that you have tried talking to your mother, but you still feel like she just doesn't care.
Lastly, it's very important that you don't tell your mother that you are going to another family member. Otherwise she'll beat you to them and she could possibly make you look bad to your family.

[like mushoku said,] right??
mushoku answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 12:51 pm: First talk to your mother about it. Within the next week. If you can't, or that doesn't do any good...
Call a family member who is old enough, responsible enough, and loving and caring enough to take care of you two and ask them for help. Don't tell your mom that you will do this - if she's not going to listen to you, threats of reaching out for help elsewhere will do more bad than good. And, if you can't call/find such a family member or that doesn't do any good...
Call your local police non-emergency number. Explain your situation and that you're not sure if they're actually the people you need to talk to or not, but that you need help. Again, don't mention anything about calling the police as threats won't help you. [ mushoku's advice column | Ask mushoku A Question ]
xoBrowneyes answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 12:18 pm: Tell her that and if she doesn't do anything tell someone at school like a teacher someone you and your sister can get help from! Hope things work out! [ xoBrowneyes's advice column | Ask xoBrowneyes A Question ]
SoInToYoUx0x answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 12:04 pm: that is messed up. have you tryed talkign to your mom telling her how you feel and the way she is acting isnt the way a mother should act...i think you and your sister need to set her striaght.. if that doesnt work if you want to you can move in with a family memeber that you know cares about you and will take cafre of you. hope this helps you out.
