DO I GO.....


Question Posted Monday December 13 2004, 9:38 pm

Okay, so I have had a lot of downs with my mom and i even went as far as not living with her for while. Now I am back with her because social services said that they couldn't do anything. I am living a normal life now, only not getting along with my mom, now social services wants me to go into foster care, but I have made several new friends since we just moved and I don't want to hurt my mom, but I know that being with her isn't the best place for me! She has NO JOB, lives with a guy she met off the net, has severe health problems and I have been in a mental institution and am on medicines. I don't deal with stress very well and with Christmas almost here, I know it is going to be stressful, especially if I end up in a foster home, WHAT DO I DO??????

How old are you? You don't sound immature, you understand the situation with your mom and YES it does not sound like the best place for you to be. I was in a similar situation LONG time ago I was 15, I could not live with my father just because he was crazy, and I was new to the place, the area, the country where I found my self with him. What I did was get into the hearts of my ONE friend (who i knew for only a couple of months) she had a good home and parents, I said this is the place where I want to be, so after I lay out my charm, I let them know how much I wanted to stay.... I was very lucky! See if you have an option like this one. If not I would say stay for the holidays, since leaving will make you sad, then think about what is best for you. Breath and remember "there is no pain that lasted 100 yrs nor a body that could resisted" OLD Spanish saying. Believe me there are GOOD people who would want to help you, search and you might find.
Good luck and PLEASE take good care of your self. "live adversities can only make you stronger"

You need to explain to your mom what's going on. Tell her that if she doesn't change her behavior, you might be forced to leave her - that might wake her up a little. If she continues what she's doing, you might be forced to go to the foster home. I know it would suck leaving your friends and your family, but you just have to realise what would be better for you. I for one hope that your mom changes because it would suck going to a foster home at this season. I hope I helped.

You need a place to get yer head together. Somewhere without pressures from everyone and away from your mum, but not on your own. You said you made some friends where you live- could you explain the situation to them? Maybe you could crash with them for a little while till you figure out a more permenant solution. Either way, don't get so stressed that the spirit of Christmas passes you by- by the looks of it everyone needs a little pep this winter.

oh...man..you poor thing..i feel for you.
On one hand your mom..who has some problems...

on the other a bunch of strangers.

has your mom ever gotten any mental health advice. Seems to me she is the one who needs some help..not you.

You are very level headed...you see your Mom for what she is.

is her behavior enough to send you over the edge right now? IS her new bf bad news? Can she provide for you both mentally and financially. How did you do in Foster care?

So..who is worse??Your mom or Foster care? What about your dad or any other family members.

this stinks..i wihs i could wave a wand and make it all go away. you are ealing with stuff MOST adults do not have to deal with.

Please be strong...please...we all are rooting for YOU!!!

I feel so bad for you. Is your dad around? meybe you can live with him. Otherwise i would talk to your friends and ask them what they think. I cannot really tell you what to do because i don't know your mom, but i am sure she does care about you. Well i hope you figure this all out. ~lyl~ me
