my mom has been really mean to me and my brothers lately and i think it is because her and my dad who are divorced are having arguements because she wants to move to a different state, what do i do!

You know what it's like to get dumped by your boyfriend right? It's something like that. She is just very upset and maybe she needs sometime to herself. Your mom probably does everything and gives everything she can for you. So just tell her you love her and that if she wants to talk you're here for her, but also let her know that you and your brother shouldn't get involved in this. Support her and try to help her out as much as you can. I know it's hard to have her being mean to you, but have you ever felt that sometimes you just want to be left alone? Maybe that's just how she feels. But talk to her about this. I'm sure she wants to here that you will be there for her through all of this! Love you! -Mandee </span> [ Mandee's advice column | Ask Mandee A Question ]
blackmamba answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 2:38 pm: yeah she is probably venting out her frustrations and you guys get the brunt of it. it sucks. maybe next time shes mean to you or your brothers, ask her why shes doing that and ask her if she is trying to drive you away, which is what is ultimately going to happen if she keeps that up. hopefully she'll see that you guys dont need to be the release of her frustration.

MFS answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 2:35 pm: If you are unable to talk to your mom about this, and don't want to talk to your dad about it (which I would understand), is there another relative you could talk to, even if only to be a shoulder to lean on? If not, some other adults that are friends of the family? It might be worth trying to convince your mom to look into family councelling so she can separate the stress of divorce & arguments from it from affecting you and your brothers.
Either way, I wish you luck. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]

hottgurl90269 answered Tuesday July 20 2004, 2:11 pm: Well.. My suggestions are.. maybe you should tell her how it is making you feel.. and if she wants to move to another state let her..maybe her meanness towards you and your brother will calm down.. If moving will make her happy then maybe your dad should let her [ hottgurl90269's advice column | Ask hottgurl90269 A Question ]
