My mom doesn’t understand that she is only making things worse for me. She says she’s going to get me counseling and that I need to talk to someone about God. I just want her to listen and accept me without trying to force religion on me. I do believe there is a god, but I have questions. However, who doesn’t? She screams and yells at me for things she doesn’t even understand herself. She tells me that I need to talk to someone. Well, the only person I want to reach out to and tell them why I am the way I am is her. She is supposed to be there for me and listen without judgment. She tells me about her problems and I am there for her always. I hate fighting with my mom, but I hate not being able to communicate with her without an argument and endless bitching.

Is she willing to go to counseling with you? Maybe then a third party could help her to hear and respect your feelings. It could be good for both of your relationships with one another. I’m sorry you don’t feel heard. When I was younger I felt so similar to you, being raised by a single mom, I always wanted our bond to be strong, but so often just felt misunderstood by her. As I’ve grown up our relationship has taken many turns, some have been awful. I thought we’d never speaK agaagain, but we did. Now things are great, thankfully and we are able to share everything. Mother and daughter relationships aren’t always easy, but you’re still trying and that right there shows that you’re a good person who wants the best outcome possible for YOU guys. Keep your head up, and don’t stop trying!
She would go, but she would lie and say that I am to blame for all of this. She and I have had so many problems..especially since her and my father got divorced. I want us to be better, but she and I think so differently it’s unreal. Thank you so much. 🙂
