They even have tapes that can help people who are ill like ur mom and it helps them out. I even think they have a foundation that helps family with a family member. And I believe it gives counsling so i'd go i think that is the best thing to do. [ FriendOfYours726's advice column | Ask FriendOfYours726 A Question ]

My mom, whom I love to death, won't bend over backwards or go out of her way to do anything in that sort of way for me. I mean sure, she'll give me money, but she's RUDE to me, she puts me down 24/7 to make herself feel better. She would never attend a basketball game, she wouldn't even go to my baptizim, all becuase she wanted her beer. The thing is though, there's nothing you really can do about it. The only way you'll be able to escape, is if you leave. Your dad is a grown man, he'll be able to handle what he can on his own, he chooses to stay there, he in no way has to. It's all just a matter of if you really want to leave her or not, or if you want to leave that. It's useless telling your mom how you feel, for me anyways, she won't listen. The only people who can make them change is themselves. You just gotta make a decision as to whether or not you're willing to wait on her. I know it's hard, but don't just think about the negatives, and the things your mom does to you, or how she hurts you. If you want to leave, think about the whole perspective. Your life outside away from your mom, your friends, and the life you've created their, and how much you could be without @ the moment. If any of that just made sense, basically, just don't forget to look @ how much worse it could actually be. [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]

bRokEnx3hEarTt answered Monday November 22 2004, 7:09 am: hey , wow thats a serious problem. If I were you I'd tell my father about what happened, since he seems to be the more controllable one. Let him know that things aren't safe with your mother. He could get full custody of you if he wanted. With that you'd be living with your father. Depends on what you two decided. I can't really tell you how to handle this but just be careful while you're handling it. Good Luck,
Love,
