And when she is back she is allways screaming on me.* I tried to talk to her but it makes things worts...* there is nobody I could talk 2...* so if you have any advice I would apriciate it.* thX!!
You may find this hard to believe but even as adults we do tend to listen to our parents when they talk to us. You will when you get to be moms age. It's called respect and something we all have for our parents. We may not always follow our parents advice. Though when our parents say they have something they wish to discuss with us there are very, very few of us who do not sit down and listen.
Mom is still grieving and doing so in a typically bad way. She misses your dad and companionship. Which is why she is dating as hard as you say she is. Talk to grandma as she may not see this, see only what mom is telling here and not aware of how this is hurting you and your siblings.

She cares, she just doesn't have a good way of showing it.

Did your mother ever seek help after the loss of your father? Perhaps her dating may be her way if coping and filling a void if loneliness. This wouldn't be a healthy way no, but the only way she knows how. Talk to grandma, Tell her your concerns ir even an Aunt or an Uncle that is close to your mom. She may need to see a therapist who can help her [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
