How to handle my psycho Mom?

I am 16-years old and last summer my parents found out I have sex and they grounded me from my boyfriends house for like months! But they eventually let me go back over there. And it was fine for a few months, but just one day out of the blue my mom decided I cant go over there anymore because I was still doing it. I mean, yeah understandable, I am still, I can deal with that punishment. Whatever. But now, now she doesnt let me go over to my best friends house! And tells me she can only come over once a week. My best friend and I hung out at least 5 out of 7 days of the week, and we cant hang out. Just a few days ago my mom yelled at me because I didnt have enough friends, and that I dont spend enough time out of the house. SHE WONT LET ME GO ANYWHERE! I cant go anywhere at all! I cant go to the movies because she doesnt trust me, I cant go bowling, parties, if its anywhere outside of my house, I cant do it! And she makes me put my cell phone downstairs at 10:00 PM. And if it isnt down there, I get it taken away for the month! I have a 3.8 GPA and I am involved in every club imaginable! I dont do drugs, I rarely drink, and I have no criminal record what-so-ever. Why am I so hard to trust? I want to talk to my mom about this, and I want to be able to go out and do the things that I was once able to do! But I’m just scared that if I talk to her,things will get worse, she’ll be mad and not let anyone come over (thats the only thing besides school that keeps me updated on the outside world) or something like that! I am so confused and I just want to live my old life! Please Help! loves, MoMo

Answer #1

Some of these comments are ridiculous, you did nothing wrong. Sex is natural and rather than being punished for it your mom should teach you about sex and make sure you are being safe.

Answer #2

Difficult situation for you both.From your side your growing up boyfriends, sex (use protection) heartbreak and so on.Your mom is freaking out because her little girl is having sex!! This phase will past.Take care

Answer #3

I know what you mean.. Alll I have to say is,… College just doesnt come soon enough!

Oooo and btw! I actually found out that dads seem to like you a lot more! I talked to my dad and he was soo much easier on me than my mom.. my dad helped e through my troubles! So maybe try talking to one of the parents that you dont usually talk to, they seem to want to get to know you that much more.. shrugs just a thought

Answer #4

I get that part, I really do. But why my best friend!!! She goes to my house! I cant be like Hey mom, Hannah is coming over, and go out and have sex!!! We are at home!!!

Answer #5

once your parents lose your trust it’s going to be hard for them to get it back. Sorry, but if I found out my teenage daughter was having sex I wouldn’t want her to be around her boyfriends house because I wouldn’t know if she would be alone or if the boyfriends parents even know what’s going on to stop it. As far as not being able to do other stuff… since she lost her trust in you because you are having sex she might be thinking that you could be saying you are going this place but are really going somewhere else to do other stuff. You just have to take tiny steps to try and prove to her that she can trust you.

Answer #6

Kay, but I cant do birth control because I am Catholic and its against my religion…well its against my religion to have sex too, but I guess that didnt stop me. But how would I bulid that trust back? By appologizing, yeah it will help but what else can I do? I already do the household cooking because my parents have late nite jobs. And I clean a lot too…I cant think of much else to do…

Answer #7

well, I totally uderstand what your saying but just step back for a minute. your mom is just trying to do what she thinks is best for you, you might not get it but she trying and shes doing it only cause your her world. she would do anything for you and just is trying to protect you. I think if you sit and really think of her view of this you might get your answers. like you said your a great student and daughter but she now knows your having sex. It might not sound like a lot but have you gotten on birth controll and gotten tested for stds. honestly shes freaked out that youll get pregnant and/or aids. sex is something totally sersious and thats how you have to look at it. shes not ready to be a grandma or have her daughter die of some aweful thing because of you haveing sex. shes scaried. I do think that sitting down and talking to her will really help you both get on the same level.

Answer #8

Send her an email apologizing for what you did and tell her the truth about everything. My mom caught me lying and having sex when I was 16 and she felt so betrayed because I lied and she though we had such a good relationship. The email worked, but she made me a gyno appt to get me on birth control. I am now 20, and she has now accepted that I have sex and I’ve yet to get pregnant, thanks to the birth control that my mom pays for. It’s better to tell her everything and rebuild your trust, you’ll be better off. I moved out a year ago into my boyfriend’s place and my mom and I are closer than ever.
