Trauma answered Sunday February 3 2013, 5:57 pm:
I'm sorry you're in such a difficult situation. I completely understand being emotional, especially at your age, but if you want to tell your mother things, you should focus on trying to keep a level head. Come to her calmly and be honest with her. Tell her exactly what's on your mind. If she doesn't react well, then remind her that she said you could talk to her about things, and it's difficult for you if she reacts in that way.

Also, try to understand that, in certain situations, tough love may be what your mother views as the best way to handle the situation. It may seem unfair at the time, but if you don't understand, try asking her to explain her reasons for reacting in such a way.

The key is to keep open lines of communication. Let her know what your worries are, and see if you two can't figure out a way to better handle these situations in the future.
