Last night my Mother threatened to leave. Now I'm afraid one night she just wont come back. I have an older friend that has offered to let me live with her not as a joke, but not wicked serios either. My Mom threatens to leave yet I can't..

What events led up to her saying she'd leave? Were you guys fighting? Were her & your dad fighting or something?
If you & her were fighting & she said that to you, then you really need to sit down & talk with her. Tell her you're sorry for all the things that have been going on & that you love her. Then try to behave better & make an effort with her. If you just let these fights slip through the cracks & act as if they never happened, the situation will only get worse.
If her & your dad were fighting, then there isn't much you can do. Parents are going to fight -- it's a marriage genetic & you can't really stop it from happening. My parents are on the verge of divorce & I can't stop it from happening. The problems they're having are within the marriage, not the family. If your parents are fighting, the most I can suggest is that you sit them down with you & have them work it out. Be a mediator & see what you can do to help them out. If nothing seems to work, try family counseling.
I'm not exactly sure if I helped, and if I didn't, please leave feedback or an inbox question so I can further understand this situation. Thanks. =) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

If that's it, you probably know why she's threatening. If it's your fault, you better show her how much you love her. You only have one mom. If it isn't your fault, well I don't know what you can do about it. [ mynamesallan's advice column | Ask mynamesallan A Question ]
