mother


Question Posted Monday November 6 2006, 12:14 am

My parents and I moved here from Russia. It was hard for us at first. My dad worked and my mom was in school, training to be a nurse for 7 YEARS(she couldn't speak english).

Now she has a job. She's a nurse and gets paid WELL. We're living pretty good. But I barely see my parents, and that is a problem.

Ever since my mom began working, she became OBSESSED with it. She's cancelled so many plans with me and broke so many promises because she would much rather work.

I'm only 14 years old/female, and I never really had a great relationship with my parents. They've always been TOO BUSY. I missed out on so much as a kid. and I am turning 15 next month. and I feel as though my mom would rather make extra money than spend AT LEAST one day with me.

I am bulimic and I have bad mood swings and I am so so so sad, and I am losing many of my friends. I want to be able to at least talk to my mom of all people. It's just so hard. :[
what should I do or say?
I need somebody, especially a mom.

I understnad how you feel. It seems like its more and more common that parents arent home for their kids. Have you tried explaining to your mom that shes not there for you and you miss spending time with her? What about having dinner together as a family two or three times a week. You could text your mom during the week to keep in contact with her during the day.

Oh jeeze thats rough, I'm russian too and also swedish and we moved from sweden and my mom had to find a job too and she was really busy with it. I talked to her about how i felt neglected and noone was there for me and she told me she was working to get money so she could support me and make sure she could afford everything i needed. Could that be the case with your mom? Bulemia is very dangerous and i think that you should talk to an adult you trust as soon as you can.. the only way this can be fixed is if you let your mom know how you feel.

hope i helped

alright hun, let me first tell you that bulimia is not going to solve your problems, i am a gymnast and about 2 years ago was anorexic because of all the stress. but in reality that is making it SOO much harder on yourself. and with your mom issue. Talk to her, soulfully wit meaning and let her know how much you care and how much its ruining you by her not being there in your life. if you know russian you might even want to try talking in that to her because she knew that for so long, it might make it a little more emotional. with mt family that always works :) you can even try talking to your dad to if that might help. and with your friends.. i dont know why you are losing them.. they should be there with you through this, do you "best" friends have any idea on how much your actually going through?..if you have one BESTfriend, he or she might be able to help./ its always nice when i can go to my bestfriend and jus cry on her shoulder because no one else is there..but try to look for a bright side babe things will eventually get better
