Q&A: Serious Problems With My Mother…?
Question by Ashlyn: Serious problems with my mother…?
I’m a 15 year old girl. 4.0 GPA in all advanced classes. Never done anything to lost the trust of my parent’s.
My mother experimented with drugs when she was younger and got into a lot of trouble, and she must believe I’m inevitably going to follow in her footsteps.
Just a little background- I’m Christian. I go to church with my grandparents. My parents are both alcoholics and they smoke. It’s been very difficult to deal with as sometimes I’m the “parent” to my little sister. My mother often blows up at me when she’s drunk, and it’s getting to the point where I don’t know if I can take it again…
Like I said, I’ve never done anything to betray their trust. But whenever I get home, she does 20 Questions “You went to the baseball game?” “Who won?” “What was the score?” “Who’d they play?” “Who was there?” I asked her if she really doesn’t trust me, and she’s like “No, as a mother it’s my job not to trust you.” *drunk. And I pointed out that there’s nothing I’ve done for her not to trust me. She says “Well, who knows what you’ve done and I haven’t found out about.” So she doesn’t trust me because I might have done something bad, but she has no proof.
I don’t know how to handle this anymore… I’m so tired of her immature attitude. She sits here yelling at me, throwing the f-bomb every other word, accusing me of getting into trouble. When I pointed out that she’s a hypocrite because she’s sitting here cussing me out, she goes “I’m 42 years old- if I get mad I have a right to say bad words.”
Oh, then she says that I don’t respect her at all, and I said “Well, look at yourself! Your sitting here cussing me out. You’re obviously not respecting me!” and she goes “Your 15- you have to earn respect!” and I said “I have!! I’ve never done anything for you not to respect or trust me!”
I just really don’t know what to do anymore… I’m so tired of it. I want to leave.. I just don’t know where to go. Please help.
