I never thought that I would feel like website was more my family than my own family. I express myself a lot more here than I could with my parents. That's pretty sad. I think my mom is scared of anything different from her own beliefs. As soon as someone believes something different from what she thinks, she targets them and just judges them. Why can't she just enjoy life. I've never understood why she needs to complicate things. She's lost my brother my sister...and now she is working on me. I can't be myself around her and I wish she would jsut listen to people...it drives me crazy

the best thing i could say would be to talk to her about it - tell her how you feel and explain that you don't want what happened to your brother and sister to happen to you - if it doesnt work, at least you said your piece and tried to find common ground with her. if she doesn't understand how you feel about what she's doing, she's not gonna see anything wrong with her actions.

I agree, the best thing to do with someone who has trouble listening, is to be really clear about how you feel. You'll be surprised how well this works. Maybe she will let you know that she didn't know how you felt. If she doesn't seem to listen even when you are very forward, then atleast it will be nice to know you aren't keeping your feelings bottled up inside. You can try to just stand your ground and make it clear how you would like your relationship to be. I symphathize tho! It can be lonely when if you feel as is someone close to you doesn't understand how you feel.

I hope that there is at least one adult that you can confide in. If you don't have one, then I'm sure you can find one.

Remember it takes two hands to clap...

Don't be one of them...

After awhile folks look silly swinging one hand around waiting for the other to make some noise...

With Care,

Lenny
