mom completely addicted to facebook. please help me!
ok, my mom has been totally addicted to facebook for about 2 or 3 years now. at first, she only went on a few times a day, but before i knew it, it became an addiction. she used to go on facebook on the computer, but ever since she got a blackberry, she goes on facebook on there. once my dad tried to tell her that she was becoming too addicted and that she was tearing apart the family relationship, she completely flipped and cried and screamed and cursed... so that was the last time anything was said about her addiction. it still really bothers me though. i cant talk to her about it cuz anytime i try to talk to her about someting i dont like, it ends up with either her pullingmy hair and screaming in my face and/or her cursing me out. so talking about it is out of he question. i need help on what to do. please. she doesnt do anything with me or my sister anymore. she just tells us to shut up and go away and make our own fun. and she always complains about how we are ungrateful brats cuz she gets us stuff all the time. honestly, i just want her love and company. she just doesnt get that. when i try to talk to her about it, she just calls me a whiny, overreacting b***h. hate it. i just hate it. please help me. thanks in advance. kisses!

Wow.. im so sorry to hear that... well try getting your dad to talk to her once more.. if the same reaction happens... go find professional help , take her to the phsycologist or the social help work, call people the social help line to see what they say... this will only become worse.. she says those things but she doesnt mean it... all I can say is get back on track and sooner or later you will get her love and company but you need to get her PROFESSIONAL help, she's obviously suffering and its your families job to pull her out of that , you need to do it fast before it gets even worse.

Wow. It sounds to me like your mom's real problem isn't Facebook. It sounds like she is depressed. Facebook is just a distraction, an escape. Clearly her behavior is hurting your family and she is not thinking rationally anymore. I think this is something that you and your sister and dad need to sit down together and talk about. You need to tell each other what you've seen and how your mom has changed. Then you need to come up with a plan to confront her, as a family, and ask her to get help. Maybe if you all sit down as a team and explain how her behavior has affected all of you, she will realize that its not just people complaining - she is hurting her family. She needs to see a doctor and find out what is wrong and how she can change it. The doctor is the right place to start. Also, I know you're not saying she's a drug addict or anything, but watch the show "Intervention", you can find it online if you want. Its about families meeting to try to force addicted family members to get help. Your mom might not be addicted to anything besides Facebook, but she does have a problem and she needs help. That show may give you ideas of how to approach her, and you may even see things you recognize in her situation. Sit down with the family and watch.
Good luck. This is an awful situation, but if your mother can get help, it can work out.
