my mother is like a different person than when i first met her. she's like two different people in one body. this week, i went on a retreat, and i left her a letter telling her about how much i hate my school and how stupid that school makes me feel. she said she really liked my letter and that she would seriously consider letting me transfer schools. then the minute my aunt walks into the room, she starts screaming. she told me i could never go another school, and if i have to stay in the school that i'm in now, i sware, i've literally thought of like driving myself to another school when my mom drops me off at school or like have someone come pick me up. like, this lady is bipolar and this is definatley not my mommy. i think my real mother was like ubducted by aliens or something, what can i do about her?? please please give me some advice about the school issue, because this lady, whoever she is, doesn't care about anything i have to say. im not even kidding about the car thing, i'm like totally serious and i've made like my main goal to get out of that school, and no one is going to change my mind, even if like i get myself kicked out. ive considered talking to the headmistress and having her ask me to leave, ??
Don't push your mom too hard. Don't yell or lose your temper. Just try to be patient with her. My mom gets like that too. Try spending a little more time with your mom so you can find out what's really going on with her. Sugguest that you two go out for lunch, or go to a movie, or go shopping. (You can even ask just to go to the grocery store with her, or run errands!)Be helpful to her, and offer to help her with errands or chores.
Things like shopping are good times to really talk to your mom. Tell her calmly, what's on your mind. Tell her about how you are struggling at school and tell her that you hate it so much that you think it might affect your grades. Discussing this when walking in the mall or over a cup of coffee is always the best way to do it.
And I don't think your mom is bipolar, because my mom gets like that all the time. It could be possible that she has a tiny bit of biploar disorder but probably not enough to actually get medication for it. [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]

It sounds like your mommy might have really been touched about your letter but then she thought about it and said no... this might not be what's best for her. Maybe she felt bad saying this to you one on one (or embaressed) and decided that when your aunt was around she had back-up and could tell you her new feelings. Just tell her one on one how you feel and how much your school is hurting you. Say how shocked you were when she yelled at you and how depressed you truly are at this school. She's your mommy, I'm sure she'll understand. If not seek help from an older source but I'm pretty sure your mommy will understand. I really hope this helped and good luck! =) [ chrissabelle37's advice column | Ask chrissabelle37 A Question ]
christina answered Friday January 26 2007, 9:08 pm: You said there's no talking to her. Maybe you're not talking to her calmly. Don't plead, beg or get an attitude. By doing that, your answer will more than likely continue to be a no.
Your mother might be bi-polar. If her mood changes in an instant just because someone walks into a room, it's questionable. Or maybe she's just a show off.
Talk to her about it, but if she still says no. Respect it. It's her word over your's.
