You don't have any rights. You are a dependent child and you can be told what to do by a parent without any explanation being required. I would be really careful not to sneak out again. It's only making things worse. (And so would jumping off a balcony.) That’s the tough part. You don’t have any rights.

Thu, 16 Dec 2010 21:29:26 +0000 http://www.momresponds.com/434/hating-moms-bossiness/#comment-7768 Dear Luise: I know my mom cares and everything, but sometimes she just doesn't give me my space. Lately, things haven't been going well between us because of some trouble I caused. You see, I tried sneaking out because all my friends talk about how fun it is, and I didn't think it would be dangerous because we live in a small town. Besides, it's not like we did anything bad, we went for a walk, there were no drugs or any alcohol or anything bad like that. This was a while back (about 6 months) and she only recently found out about it. She's been giving me so much trouble because she thinks my friend's are influencing me, and she's trying to keep me inside as much as possible. She only lets me hang out with this one girl, who is actually a really bad influence compared to all the other people my mom thinks are horrible, but my mom doesn't know that and she says she "doesn't want to hear it" when I try to explain to her. And she's always forcing me to do things without giving me reasons why I should!! Like today, the first day of the weekend, she forced me to go to the market with her when I told her I didn't want to go. I told her to give me a reason why she wanted me to go with her and all she said was " go get dressed". I tried like 10 times, and she still ignored me. So I can understand that there are some trust issues and that she just wants to protect me and be a good mom, BUT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHY SHE WANTS ME TO DO THINGS. She can't just ignore me, because that makes me want to disobey her even more! Oh and she always hangs up on me when I call her to ask if I can go somewhere. Please help, or I think I'm just going to jump from my balcony. S Dear Luise: I know my mom cares and everything, but sometimes she just doesn’t give me my space.

Your mother is setting a really bad example and then criticizing you when you are a good kid. Stay out from under her feet and don't make her mad as much as possible. Clean your room and keep it that way because it's her house and she thinks you need to learn to be neat and organized. (It's actually a good idea.) And do the best you can until you can get the heck out of there. When you grown up and leave...and you will...remember this stuff and try to give your kids a better shake. You can rant here any time you need to. Blessings, Luise What a mess. Your mother is setting a really bad example and then criticizing you when you are a good kid.

However, yelling back makes it worse and running away could cost you your life. Do the best you can and learn what you can from it. That is no way to treat a person and you deserve so much better. When can you leave, legally...make sure that you make better choices than you mom has. Blessings, Luise Dear M.: I know it isn’t fair and they aren’t listening to you.

Your mom buys the groceries and pays the bills. That's just how it is. She makes up the rules and you get to follow them. I have no idea why your guy looks like poison to her but I do know she probably wants the best for you and may think he's not it. Your choice, right? Well, maybe in a perfect world. If you can't talk and you can't neotiate you will just need to wait it out. If he's really a serious mistake, you will eventually find that out, once you are footloose and fancy-free.

They are proof of that. You also know that your mom, for whatever reason, wasn't. It's time to seek support someplace else. The dynamics in your dysfunctional family are still alive and well and you just don't need that. Some churches have counseling and support groups. And of course there are other places to go. The point is you are going through a very tough time at present and need advocates...people who will listen and who care. Don't respond to the poison emails and don't respond to the silence. My guess is that your mother and sister are both jealous of you. Build an extended family elsewhere,in a clinic or a church or a neighborhood.

She never liked me and has made that clear time and time again. She left my sisters and I when I was 11 the youngest of 3. She ran away with one of her boyfriends. She married him after he forced himself on me. I told her and she said I was a slut...long story but she blamed me. Anyway, I always tried to make my relationship work with her, but everything always ended in it being my fault. This summer I took my girls out to visit my sister in Washington state. The trip was one of the worst trips I ever went on. My husband and I were planning on divorcing, so I need to get away for some emotional support from my family, which I didn't get. I was treated like crap from my sister. Then my mother flew out to see my daughters and I, and she made things so much worse. For years my mother and sister told me to leave him. Then they told me to stay. I was told I am a crappy mom and that I don't do anything right in raising them. Needless to say, my girls and I couldn't wait to get away from them and get home. I haven't spoken to my sister in 5 months. I got 4 really mean e-mails from my mother stating that I am stupid and with all my education I wasted my money and that my kids should be in a foster home, because I suck at parenting. My kids are good kids, they have good grades and are in sports. My son, who is 16 is an honor student and top in his power machinics class, but like I said, she has abused me all my life, telling me she should have had in abortion. Now my sister who I was really close with doesn't talk to me. I just want advise in letting them go. Hi, I am in my early 40′s and I have had a rotten relationship with my mother my whole life.

You must feel pretty left out. I know you don't want to hear this but your Mom is probably scared to death. A lovely, young, teenage girl enters a mine field when she starts socializing in the pre-adult arena, (you said older guys are going to be there). Your Mom wants you to live to tell the tale, so to speak and not be one of the millions of catastrophies that occur every year to young girls. A cell phone feels super-safe to you, and she knows that you might not get to use it or she might not be able to get to you in time. It's about protective love. Please listen.

She won't let me go to this dance at school just because there are older boys there. I mean, if I need her I could call her on my cell phone and she could come and pick me up. But no, she wants me 2 be miserable my whole life. She needs to learn how to let go and let me do things I want to do. I am in my early teens and my mom treats me like a little kid.
