ok so my mom is on facebook like all of the time and she never freaking gets off of it! every time i try to talk to her about anything, she tells me to shut up and go away. so i really dont know what to do anymore because its been like this for 2 or 3 years now and once when my dad confronted her about it she drove off and he was driven to tears (and ive never once seen him cry in my life) so that was the end of that and ive tried everything and it just never stops no matter what. please answer if u r in similar situation or if u have good advice. thanks in advance!

Then find a family friend or some other close relatives and have an intervention. Let her know how much it hurts all of you. Most people can regulate their time between real life and computer life. She seems to need this escape to a fantasy world and you need to find out why. It could be she's unhappy with your dad or work or life in general. Either way, she's going to need some outside help to make her realize what's going on. I hope this helps and good luck. [ julie75's advice column | Ask julie75 A Question ]
