i need some help…

i am a 16 year old girl n i live with my two parents n my little sister. i have an ok life but there are times when things need to change. lately things are really bad n its hurting me. my dad thinks i need to do everything for my sister. n i do. i make her appointments, i make sure she gets where she needs to go, i find ways to get her places, n i make sure she has food in her belly, n i help her with everything. n she is 15. i can handle my sister. when my mom is not around my dad is fun n helpful. he believes what i say n listens when i have a problem. he makes the money to pay the bills n the food. my mom recently had to get a job because she is in collage n my dad’s paycheck is not enough anymore. so they are both out of the house all day. n i am home with my sister all day. when my mom gets home she has homework or she watches tv n sometimes makes supper. my dad rests a bit then goes outside to work on things that need to be done. my mom normally has things for me to do during the day. i do everything she wants n sometimes more. my boyfreind comes over almost everyday about 130 n sometimes i have things done n sometimes i still have laundry. n he helps me with whatever i ask him 2 or i just tell him i am almost done n then me n him hang out. on the weekends me n my boyfiend hang out at his house or in town. but normally b4 i leave i do a few more chores. but my mom never thinks i do anything. she always yells at me for sitting on my *** all day. my dad will believe me if my mom is not around. yea wierd huh?. but that is how it works around here n its bogus! there is a day that happens after a week or two when i am pushed 2 my limit. yesterday was a day. i barely hit my mom. yes i did. n she attacked me. i have marks on my eyes n arms. i am too afraid to check anyplace else. yesterday i left because she told me to n i went were my dad told me to. but the funny thing was when my mom came back downstairs my dad got pissed about where i was going. the nite b4 i was at my boyfriends. i came home b4 they did n i was really tired n not feeling well. they pushed every button n i just went to my room. he made it seem like i was out of control that nite n told me if i ever came home like that again i would never go there again. last nite i was home 5 min b4 ten just like they wanted. i went to talk to my dad, tell him i was home n i made $15 helping my boyfreinds family. that was last nite. there are days me n my mom yell at eachother. she likes to tell herself that there is nothing wrong with her n i judge her all the time n i am a selfish b**ch. i really think she is crazy. i think she needs to get help. but i know she wont. she told me to get some help about ten months ago because i was suicidal. she never liked the help i was getting n after 8 months of help i had to stop n i will be going in for a check up in november. i was told that i just needed to work on coping skills n learn to breath when angry. i have been doing well but that is me n my boyfriend. he has been there for me every step of the way for 17 months. n his family for about 2 months. i want to know what are some ideas i could do. i dont like coming home, i dont like being with my mom when we are home. i cant talk to my mom. what should i do? n my dad cant help me because my mom is so controlling. help me please.

The important thing is to concentrate on the positives in your life. You have a loving boyfriend who helps you and supports you, and his family who are there for you. You have a younger sister who you look after, and a dad that loves you.
You have a lot to be happy for, a lot to live for!

That is in no way to say there is no problem; there obviously is. But however much it gets you down, you have to force yourself to think of the good things, not the bad. You deserve to be happy but you have a large hand in that.

Your mum requires professional help. That is something she has to seek for herself, or as a family you decide. If things really get too much, consider getting help on her behalf. Speak to your father alone before doing anything though. The last thing you need is cause a chism and alienate yourself from anyone else.

In the meantime, hang on in there; your sister needs you, your dad needs you. Its a lot of responsibility to bear on young shoulders, so its natural you will feel overwhelmed. But things *will* get better, keep hold of that hope :)

cosmic fool thank you.

mas1s,
ur rite. i should not hit anybody. but in all reality i am a child n i am human. i can not be perfect. n if u think i have some angre problems then u need to get out more. i am a lot better person that i used to be. n i was angry because i had a lot of problems in my life. i didnt like who i was n how my family treated my while i was having problems. the school social worker called my mom n told her what was going on n my mom took me to a hospital. n i got help. n the help i was getting stopped because my parents cant afford it n the gas it takes to get there was not helping either. i am doing everything i can, try’n my best to be the best person i can be. everything takes time. n i am not an angry person. i become angry when when things make me angry just like everybody else on this planet. i am a child living with a family that is not happy. my whole family are not exactially kind people. my mom’s family are people that live to hurt other people. n i am not an angel. i can be. my mom is a very difficult person. n living with her makes life very difficult. i am a child that can only handle so much before i crack. i expect u would crack if somebody pushed u as well.

i know violence is not the answer.

but honestly i would either want me out of the house or my mom or my mom realizing she needs to get some help. i mean she thinks there is nothing wrong with her..odd..

i think she needs to realize that people are not judging her all the time n she is not perfect n my dad does not always have to side with her. i am his child n i think if i didnt do anything wrong but she thinks i did n he believes me he should be able to stick up for me. i know he would if she was not around. he changes around her n i dont think that is the way it should be. n she has my sister thinking that i am the worst person ever but again only when my mom is around.

i have been told that mediation might work but dont know what it is or how to do it…dont laugh…

again…i really kinda think u need to get out more if u think i am more angrier than the average adolescent…n i really dont think i am holding anything back…i really am not the type to hold anything back…n i dont think i blame her for anything. yea i get really upset when she favors my sister. when she doesnt notice anything i try to do for her. when i am caught for doing something i shouldnt but do because i am a teenager…i am like most people in high school. always think they are right. always want what they cant have. get pissed at thier parents. struggle in school unless its the “best class”

is it alright if i ask how old u r?

wow. the wierdest thing happened last nite. my mom got home from work. i was prepaired for the worst. i had done a lot of chores before my dad got home from work n helped him after he relaxed a bit. when my mom got home she talked to me. she got food for me and my sister for a week or two and some ice cream. me and my sister gave some money. she came in the house she said the work i had done looked good…i asked her about somethings i wanted to do this week n she said “thats fine”…(when i think i am grounded…) i asked her what she wanted me to do the next day she gave me a few things n i asked about a few things. i kept the conversation small because i didnt wanna risk anything. last nite she only got made at her homework n something funny my dad did but it was a joke..well a family joke..she went to bed n i was in shock…she was getting ready this morning n she reminded me that my sister had a ffa thing n remined me of a few things…she never does that. ever.

i like that she was in a better mood. but it was wierd…i talked to my aunt n she just said thats good n keep up the good work…i dont know what to think about it…i dont know if i should be worried…my boyfriend didnt think much of it either..maybe i am overracting…prolly huh??

It sounds like things are improving, so make the most of it! Its possible she’s turned over a new leaf, so if you make sure to remain on good terms with her, things could be a whole lot better.

Try not to worry about it, but do be prepared for her relapsing into who she was, and you falling out again. She might just be having a few good days. But I really do hope its the start of a new relationsip between the 2 of you.

Its good to hear! =)
