Battles with mother


Question Posted Saturday February 18 2006, 12:22 pm

I know that most teenagers don't get along with their parents, but I don't think what my mother and I do is healthy... not one bit. She and I are the only two in our household now, but we use to live with her parents because she couldn't work because of back surgery. Well, during this past summer we were living with her parents and I was dating a guy who lived by himself(he was attending college that was 45 min away from me). My mom didn't seem to really mind, she even let him stay over on the weekends because of the distance or maybe to keep an eye on us.... not sure, lol. Well to make long story short, he moved away it ended horrible and I had to tell her that we had sex and I thought I might be pregnant. She isn't the type to really show emotions, but I knew I let her down and hurt her bad. That fueled a fire with the grandparents, they told us we need to find a place and get our own lives. Ever since then my mother and I have been nothing but two bickering dogs. We rarely get along anymore and if we do its only for a SHORT SHORT pd. She has no trust with me and boys anymore and that kills me because yeah I made a mistake, but I've fessed up and payed my dues for it. I don't want to fight with her, I want to have a healthy relationship and be able to go shopping, talk about boys, watch movies with her, do all the girlie things with her. But we just can't because when she says black, I'm saying white. Can anyone help me with suggestions or anything???

Additional info, added Saturday February 18 2006, 11:41 pm:
I don't want to make the notion that my mother and I have ever really had this pretty, petty girlie relationship because we haven't. We've never been affectionate with one another, we've never really even opened up to one another. We get by with the bare minimal and that always seemed to work; she has her secrets and I have mine. She and I will never have the just do for one another just because, because that isn't in either one of our natures. We only please or get along for the passing and nothing more strenious. So please dont tell me to sit down and talk to her because I've tried and she isn't the type to talk... we end up yelling; or making her breakfast in bed, she is usually up at 530; or givng her a hug or card... its just not me or her. Sorry.

My mom is kind of the same way. you might want to sit down and try to talk to your mom. and tell her the same things that are in the question that i am answering right now. tell her that you want to have a healthy relationship with her and you dont want to argue anymore. tell her that you know you made a mistake and you just want her trust back because its hurting you. if she doesnt understand then i dont think she is fit to be a good mom. no offense... but moms should sit down and listen to what their kids have to say. mabe shes under alot of stress to you should help her around the house and stuff... mabe shell come around. i truly hope this helps you. god bless you.
