I am 12 years old. My mom and dad are divorced. My mom has custody and she has a boyfriend. I love my mom but when I talk to her about my problems I feel like she isn't listening... or if she is I feel like she doesn't do anything about it. My mom and her boyfriend are often in a miserable mood.. I'm not totally sure why but I have my guesses. I try to talk to my mom about it and she says "I'll be happier" but she never is. Another thing is that my little brother who is about to turn 9 gets away with everything but I always get in trouble for things he did! My mom says that she treats us both the same but she doesn't! Also, my mom's boyfriend is a great guy and I love him but he always has to get involved in me and my mom's conversation... which I don't mind... but he just approaches it in the wrong manner. My mom says that I yell and have a bad tone towards her often, but I don't do it on purpose... it's just the way I speak... to everyone and I try to explain that but she doesn't care. And when I do yell on purpose it's because she ignores me otherwise. I can't take to her about anything without it turning in to an argument!! She always blames me but I am always calm until someone else starts something. We can't even have a civilized conversation. And then after the conversation when I tell her that I feel like she's not trying she makes me feel guilty by saying "Thanks for noticing all the effort I put in to making you feel better." And then I start feeling really bad. I just don't know what to do anymore. All help is appreciated!

Hello why me. Welcome to psychcentral.
 I am sorry to hear that your mother isn't being supportive. I am not certain that I have any valuable advice but I will try. Have you tried thinking about what it is that is bothering you and then waiting until your mom and you can discuss the issue calmly? When I was younger I often wanted to settle issues right now and I found that didn't work as well as when I thought through what I wanted to communicate and was less emotional before I discussed the problem.
