i use to feel the same way my family use to never be around i kinda went a lil phyco too but then im like hey mom we need to talk and i just went straight to her and said Whats the point in having kids if your never gonna spend time with them. she got a little mad and said well i do spend time with you then i was like no mom you dont get it im home alone 24/7 and you dont even let me have friends over then she started to feel like crap which then i felt bad about but my mom and dad stop hanging out with there friends as much or instead their friends came over to my house and brought there kids and we had this big family night thing but now that i think about it hanging out with my family too much gets annoying

Hi Katie
Wow...it's not very often you hear a teen who says she wishes she could spend MORE time with her family. I think it's great!!
First of you are NOT going psycho...you are lonely. That's only natural if you're left alone all the time. People talk to themselves all the time. I do it regularly....my daughter will be like.."mom, who are you talking to?", and I just say "to myself". It's totally normal, so don't think you're crazy.
Now, I think you need to sit down with your parents, or even just your mom, and tell her how you feel. If you don't say anything, then nothing will change. They are probably completely unaware that you are feeling this way. They will likely be grateful to hear that you want to be around them more.
You could suggest that one night a week you could all do something as a family. Play games, go mini golfing, go shopping, anything that would bring you all together.
Maybe you could also try to come to an agreement that you would be allowed to have ONE friend over when your parent's aren't home. I'm not sure how old you are, but if you can prove to your parent's that you are responsible enough to have a friend over, then that could ease your loneliness when your parents have to be at work.
Just make sure to talk to them. Communication is the key...without it, they will never know how you feel.
Good luck, and take care,

Hey there! The best thing to do is talk to your family, and honestly tell them how you feel. Being straight-forward of your feelings is the best way to approach and solve a situation. For instance, when one of your family members are not busy at the moment, approach them and explain to him/her how concerned you are that the family is not really spending time together, leaving you to feel alone. With one family member knowing and understanding how you feel, they may feel the same way and inform your other family members of this. Also, if for example, everyone is at home in the morning before they head to work, possibly, eat breakfast with them and fully announce to everyone how you sincerely feel. Tell them, "I feel that we're not spending time together lately. And by the end of the day, I want us to make time for each other, and to know how each of our days has been." Also, if your parents get home late when you're already sleeping, you could write them a letter and leave it for them to read when they come home, which explains to them of how your day was, what you want to let them know, and most importantly how you feel.
I sincerely hope everything will work out! Take care always!
