Me and my mom never got along. I hate to say this but every time she sees me it seems like she hates me. We fight about everything. What I should wear, what I should do for my hair, everything! It wasn't until the day when I was 12 she literally kicked me out of the house so I had to go live with my grandma. My grandpa already passed so it was just my grandma. I enjoyed living with my grandma for those 3 years until she developed a type of lung cancer and had to stay in the hospital and I had to live in the hospital with her as well watching her suffer. The day my grandmother past was a very tragic loss. I had no one else to live with. I couldn't live with my aunts or uncles because they live in the UK which is too far and after my parents divorced my dad went back there as well. So my only option was to move back and live with my mom. My mom was not happy to see me at all when I came back. She always has this angry look on her face. I never even did anything! I don't know why she's so upset with me! Now she keeps telling me I can't do this, I can't do that. Like, I can't wear a skirt, I can't have nailpolish, I don't understand! I'm so tired of my mom right now I can't wait until I move out! Even my mom said that as well! She was like, I can't wait until your 18th birthday so you can finally move out so I don't have to live with you anymore! Me and my mom never got along ever. Whatever I say to her it turns into a fight. How do I deal with her? I'm so tired of having to live with her!

How old are you? Sorry things are like this. Are there counselors at your school you can talk to?

That's because you always start fights... there is this basic concept of Honor thy parent... you earn respect by showing respect to others. You aren't entitled to it.

When you are an adult... have your own house and support yourself... you can do things your way... until then you do it her way... without any backtalk.

That's a lifeskill that's critical because you'll get fired from any job you will ever have walking around with an attitude like that. Seriously... you are the child, not the parents equal... you don't get to give them lip all the time... or really ever.


Time to take a long hard look at yourself. I bet you would HATE to have a little mini-you acting towards you like you do your mother.

Wake up call... but learn to curb the attitude or you will be in for some very rude and harsh lessons in life when you finally do move out on your own. People will not be as nice to you are you mother was when you get like that with them. Seriously... there are a LOT of people that would just assume give you a beatdown that puts you in the Emergency room or the morgue. Se seriously take a step back... bite your tongue... and give some thought to what I just said.

I've known a lot of people that sound like you... a lot of them are dead... some are in jail... a few finally recognised how and why they were wrong and turned their lives around... life is what you make it... good or bad.
