My mom does stuff just to irritate me im 18/m and in January I leave for the army for four years. So now im just tryna have fun while im STILL A TEENAGER but it seems like she just doesn't want me too.nd im tryna hav fun b/c from 13 to 17 I was n foster care so I realy cudnt do anything. she just recently took my car away for the dumest reason ever I was at a party nd didn't get bc till 6am, big deal who cares? I've told her that I jus wanna have fun before I leave b/c I won't ever be 18 again. But all she wants me to do is spend time wit her nd I dnt want to because all we do is argue cuz she criticizes me bout everything. She thinks I need to depend on her for everything that's why I can't wait to lev. Oh yea we jus moved to a new city away from all my friends wich I think she did on purpose.
So basically my question iswhat shud I do im goin crazy bein home all day nd I can't really talk to her. Nd all my friends r goin out havn fun nd im stuc home.What shud I do?? Thanks

She is probably scared or nervous that you are going to be leaveing for the army and with the war going on. shes just scared for you and knows that since you guys are fighting shes afrid if you leave that you arn't ever going to come home. she is probably afrid you are going to leave her. maybe make her dinner one night and tell her why you are joining the army and that your not going to forget about her and that youll come home and see her. tell her you want to spend time with her but you would also like to spend sometime with your friends before you have to leave for four years.
good luck. [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]

She is probably worried, since you are going to the army for four years, that something might happen to you. Maybe you should depend on her for somethings, even if you don't really need her help pretend like you do. It will make her feel wanted and she'll probably get off your back.
