only child


Question Posted Wednesday August 25 2004, 10:56 am

im the only child in my family, my mom got a miscarriage back in 1997, since then im the only target in my family of my mom's naggings. my dad is hardly at home, he works to get the income coming. i dont have a close social bond with my dad because of this, but i feel somehow mentally me and dad clicked. with mom, all she does is say something to pissed the heck outta me, i'll just go to my room, stay there forever till she wants to talk again. i duno why shes acting like such a a**, and whenever i have a problem i duno who to turn to but my bestfriend. otherwise its me sitting next to problems like these. my mom doesnt even bother to find out whats going on in my life, she doesnt act like she cares or wants to be included. she simply doesnt bother. she doesnt allow me to have a boyfriend, im not even allowed to TALK about guys infront of her. dun tell me to talk to her, she wouldnt listen to me. is there other ways that u could help me? much appreciated -Rei

you need to write your mom a letter explaining just what you siad- or print the question you posted and leave it somewhere she will pick it up... She's your mom- she loves you.

i have that problem with my nan. she'll just get on ur case for no reason. my advice is just say ok, i'm sorry, yes mom. just to get them to shut up. also see if there's a time u and ur dad can just go out by urselves and talk to him about it. just to get ur feelings off ur chest. that's wat my family always does it might not completely solve the problem but u'll feel better. besides maybe ur dad can talk to ur mom (u may never get along wit her) but maybe she'll listen to ur dad and try to get along wit u. hoe everything works out for u.

im an only child 2 and i dont see my mom mutch cuz she works late . i think u should try to find time to talk to ur dad about how u feel and maybe he can talk to ur mom for u and maybe shell try to be more understanding.im not saying everything will be perfect cuz i dont think u and ur mom will ever get along very good.just talk to ur best friend and ur dad and if no one's there to talk to, write down all ur feelings in a notebook thats what i do so its like u have somone to tell ur problems to. well GOOD LUCK

You might just have to accept the fact that you may never get along with your mom. Im the same way, all me and my mom do is fight but i connect with my dad great.
Its ok that you dont get along with your mom. Lots of people dont. You just need to learn to live with her until you get older and move out. I suggest just ignoring her when she bitches for no reason. Just say "ok mom sorry" and walk away. even if its not your fault it just gets the fight overwith. Just try to avoid confrontation as much as possible. If she wont let you talk about boys then dont talk about boys. Just make her feel like she has the control and try not to piss her off to much.
It sounds like you will never get along with your mom and thats totally ok.
If you need someone to talk to about this continue talking to your best friend or maybe even try talking to your dad.
If all else fails just come on here and theres tons of people who you can talk to.
Feel free to write me if you need to talk.
Hope I helped :)

How about talking to your dad aboout it? Maybe after you do that he`ll talk to ur mom. If not...maybe family conseling is good. dont worry..its not a horrible thing..my friend went through family counseling and now things are better with her family. Im sorry your mom is acting this way and i hope everything works out.
