My mom drives me insane and I don't exactly care about her much. She keeps telling me and my dad how she's going to be leaving soon to her sister's or a woman's shelter but she never does. I would really love it if she left like she keeps saying she's going to do but never does. I'm happier without her around... I don't know why she stays... she knows she's not wanted here.
Not really nice, I know... but my life is always nicer when she isn't around.

Work on being happy regardless of her... get to a place in your mind where it really doesn't matter to you whether or not she is there. Ultimately, you are in control of your happiness (and you can't control what your mom does). Don't give away any of your control of your emotions to your mom-
Good luck to you-

No it is not nice, you only get one mother and you will probably regret saying these things when you are a mother yourself and your children treat you the same way. Remember, what goes around sooner or later comes back and smacks you in the face. Watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bible says to honor your Mother and Father so your days will be long on the earth. Your days are surely numbered. We can't choose our parents do anything about the way they act. Just be grateful that you have a mother because so many people have lost their mothers and they wish they had them back.

Later on you will regret how you feel. Trust me, I know. Make peace with her, and find out if she is bi-polar. There are drugs for that. Whatever you do, try to understand why she is the way she is, as sooner or later you may look into a mirror and say gosh I have become like my mother! We all pick up traits from our parents no matter how hard we try not to. Good luck regardless!

For the first time I'm seeing how Andrea Yates drowned her kids. When they get older they probably would have been worthless. Your mother has raised you and you owe it to her and to yourself to make an effort to straighten whatever this **** is between the two of you out. If it doesn't work at least you can say you tried your damndest. Then just go.

Wow... my mom does the exact same thing, she says she's going to move, but she never does. I don't think she ever meant it. She doesn't do that anymore, but it's because we're on better terms now.
I suppose I don't really know your situation, but my advice would be to try to reconcile your differences because, and I assume you're a teen, you're going to be living with her for a while yet.

Oh bless your heart. That is hard. You could pray for your mom. She keeps threatening because she wants you guys to beg her to stay so she will feel loved and needed. Sounds like she needs love more than anything else right now.

I feel really sorry for your family situation--many grown women are afraid to make a drastic change, even if their life at home is bad---even if they say they want to go. Your mom is probably miserable, and it doesn't sound like you are helping much.

You say that now. You will live to regret your words. No one lasts forever. Think about what you say before you say it.Some people never know their parents. Very sad.

Instead of wanting her out, how about opening your heart in order to help?
Your mother doesn't sound stable. And. I'm sure she doesn't mean to upset you. It can be hard to please others in your life, when you're greatly unsatisfied yourself.
It's hard to help you, when we are unaware of the bigger picture.
