How do I stop saying these bad things?

Me an my mom argue. A lot. But I still love her. And there are days when we don’t argue at all. But sometimes I catch myself mubbling mean things under my breath about my mom. And then later, I cry because I feel SO horrible about what I said. And I know my mom deserves SO much better, after all my dad has put my mom through. BLLAAAHHH! So, how can I get a better relationship with my mom? And how do I stop saying mean things?

Answer #1

If you just try to relax everytime you feel irritated, breathe calmly and think about how much your mom loves you too as well and think about all the things she’s probably done for you. I’m sure your mom deserves better if you just try to think about how she’d feel if she said mean things to you under her breath. I’m sure you wouldn’t like that too well. Just do things that she’ll appreciate such as helping her around the house, ect. She needs to better understand you too as you’re growing up. You’re a teenager that does allot of normal things like that. I did that allot with my own mom and she didn’t like that one bit. If you too can discuss things in a compassionate way, and peaceful way, you two can have a better relationship.

Answer #2

You’re a teenager. Pretty much goes with the territory…I wouldnt worry about it too much, if anything try the breathing and counting to 10 technique. Try and remind yourself why you love your mom periodically. And if you still find yourself getting irritated, just do nice things for her occassionally to make it up. This too shall pass… Your relationship with her will get better!
