Selfish Mom../:

My mom is so mad at me because im leaving tomorrow to my dads. She told me when she drops me off with him don’t take it personaly that she isnt going to give me a hug blah blah blah and she’s trying to give me reasons to stay ( im taking your phone. He is a dick. Member when he made you cry really bad that one time.) Stuff like that, but shes like so annoying!! WE ALWAYS BUT HEADS. I just wanna live the rest of my kid life with him beofre I go live my life. She is bitter. She’s always crying and it kills me but I have to do what I have to do? I know she’s sad im leaving but really she’s acting like a 2 year old. Im asking what do you think about this and what should I say to her??

Answer #1

Of course she’s going to be bitter. How would you feel if your child basically made you feel like you weren’t good enough and went to live with the other parent?

You have to look at it from her perspective. My mother died when I was four. Mothers and their children have this special bond that just aren’t as strong with the father.

She wants you to honor that bond and to make her feel like yes, she’s done a phenomenal job parenting, and yes, you love her to pieces, and yes, she’s worth everything to you. Your mom and dad are split up right? That split up probably made her feel like she messed up and that he didn’t want her or love her enough to stay with her (even if that is not necessarily the case) and she’s looking for proper love and affection from you, because you will always be blood related, so you’ll always have each other, right?

Besides, she may just be trying to protect you from something about him you don’t know about yet. Try to think about WHY she would be so adamant about all of this for no reason. Because I imagine that there is a very reasonable explanation behind everything.

-Ask her why she’s so adamant about NOT going to your father’s. -Explain to her and make her feel like she’s done the best job in the world as your mom and that you love her to death and will always love her -But you want to try different things and you feel that going to your father’s for a little while will help prepare you for the more independent part of your life.

good luck : ) : )

Answer #2

Tell her the reasons you want to stay with your father, and that if she can’t accept it, you’re sorry, but it’s your life, and you need to move on. Just because she didn’t have a wonderful relationship with your dad doesn’t mean you won’t, and she has no right to stop you from seeing him. Tell her that your leaving doesn’t mean you love her any less, you just see a better opportunity with your father. Make sure you call her everyday, though, and tell her that you love her, even if she doesn’t say the same. She might just be upset that you chose him over her, and it’s important to remind her that that’s not the case. Hope this helps! ;D

Answer #3

Fro a 16 year old girl whos mom died when I was 9, I can see how difficult your situation must be. I cant give you much advice but always remind her and constantly how much you love her and how thankful you are to have her in your life. Maybe she’ll ease off a bit. And I think she might be jealous that you want to spent time with your dad and she just might be lonley. I miss my mom so much! and I would do anything to have her back.. And remember, you never know what you have till its gone. So live life with less worrys ;) Good luck sweetie! I wish you the best!

Answer #4

sure she is going to be upset and will cry! after all she have been with you ages…I am a mom and I can feel her emotions… well its your choice though and maybe you are bug enough to make your own choice but you also have to think that she has always been right there for you and now when you are older rtaher than be there for her you are chosing the other parent…so sure she is going to be upset about it, she would have dream about you when you will be old wnough then you both will be enjoying having fun watch tele shop go here and there together share feelings like friends! but now she is feeling down cause you wont be there for her!

I wish you a luck…but maybe you should not go with your father forever cause your mom loves you more than anything according to your statement
