Seriously I don't know if my perspective is a little flawed or what...but it seems like my moms been sneaking around or something for some reason. I mean so she smokes cigarettes sometimes and her boyfriend does not like it so she doesn't do it around him and even tries to hide it(don't think he has any right to tell her what to do) but thats not the point of this thread. But yeah she tries to hide that from everyone like the other day I was out smoking a cigarette and she came out to smoke one and when I came out of my little out of veiw spot I just like she like tried to hide her cigarette she came out to smoke. I mean I know she smokes sometimes I really do not care so I did not get that.

but also its like she just stays in her room, or leaves to do whatever either going to class or other unspecified things...but she'll just leave not even say good-bye and lately any time I attempt talking to her just general comments about the day or stuff that is not really super significant just conversation...its like she comes off as she's just tolerating me(and would rather not) and not giving a damn what I say or actually taking any of it in regardless of the topic...and this is just when i try to make general conversation like 'good morning...seem's like a nice day out' or whatever. And actually the past weeks there have been times I say something and its like she ignores i am even in the room and says nothing at all...granted those instances could have been because she was focused on looking at her email or whatever...but combined with the other stuff I found that a little bothersome as well.

So I guess I am wondering what is going on that she is not telling me...I also am not feeling very good vibes from her, though some people are not sensitive to stuff like that I guess. Also just to clarify the situation I am 25 on SSI and living with her at her house and paying rent. I just hope its not something like her thinking of kicking me out or stuff that will make my life sigificantly harder I guess.

I guess you wont know whats going on unless you ask . As far as the smoking goes??? maybe she is embarrased that she is smoking. I dunno .

I hope your able to find out what is going on and your home life settles down.

Sounds very strange indeed. It is funny when people say they quit smoking but they are actually sneaking a puff whenever. Who are they fooling!!! Only themselves.
I can not believe your moms attitude has anything to do with that. I agree with the last post. Come straight out and ask her. Tell her you feel like she is ignoring you, or maybe upset with you and you would like to straighten things out if that is whats up.
Good luck

I agree, about asking. Maybe she's worried about something?
