My mom and I haven't been getting along very well lately. It's like she never lets me go anywhere anymore. I'm almost never allowed to hang out with my friends and I'm 13.. I'm at the time in my life when I need to be with my friends. I've tried talking to her but it doesn't seem to work. She told me that I'm a problem to her. I almost cried. I just replied "It's nice to know that your own kid is a problem," and I walked into my room. I just don't know what to do anymore. I lost my best friend because my mom didn't ever let me go to her house because the parents weren't home. I know she's just trying to protect me, but it's like she doesn't trust me. And she won't let me walk around outside when I'm with my friends. She says she doesn't know why I need to if we're just walking around and not going anywhere. I love her and all but I feel as if she doesn't understand me anymore. What do I do? I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Sl3epy_goddess answered Thursday August 26 2004, 9:39 pm: I know the way you feel. My mom was somewhat the same way but she was very abusive ,and rescently i moved out because i couldn't take it. Sit down and talk with her. Tell her its your time to talk and that you have some things to say about her being over protective. If there is a problem tell her to get you a cellphone or something she can keep a hold of you on. I was or still am a somewhat problem to my mom. I am the blacksheep of my brothers and sisters so she doesnt listen either. She is very stubborn to. You friend shouldnt have done that to you either. That is just plain rediculous and your mom should trust you. Have you done anything un trustworthy in the first place? If talking to her one on one doesnt work then write her a letter. Dont Say anything in it you will regret. Just tell her your feelings. If that doesnt work ,try thinking of things that she can trust you on. Try babysitting or animal watching. I dont know just really try to write her a letter ,but watch with you put (made mistake before) [ Sl3epy_goddess's advice column | Ask Sl3epy_goddess A Question ]
Karen answered Thursday August 26 2004, 9:14 pm: Wow! Since you tried talking to your mom face to face and that wouldn't work, try to write a note explaining what you just said but with more details. Leave the note some where in the house where she will notice right away. Hope I helped :) [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
