My dad lives in Georgia, and I live in Indiana. We've gotten really into playing Halo on the computer together and talking over Yahoo! with voice.
Recently my mom has been acting strange. Claiming unorthadox things, making major purchases and changes. She changed my phone number so my dad can't call me anymore. I am not allowed to give him my number. Though I offered it to him, he tells me not to give it to him so I stay out of trouble. Now the only time I talk to him is the slight chance we happen to be online at the same time. So I spend a LOT of time on the computer.
Since we mostly talk at night, I am on all night just to make sure I don't miss him. Well, my mom tells me to get off, even when I'm talking to him. What is the best way to handle this situation?

Im sorry to hear that, the best way i can answer is be honest and ask her why. I think children should have a relationship with both parents. I would advise you to keep the questions calm. But keep in mind that once you are of ae she cant keep you from talking to him. Sounds to me like he has your best intrests at heart not wanting you to get into trouble. But you mom might have good reasons and maybe you should talk to her and find out.

I am sorry your mom is doing this to you....maybe its the money it costs to call? It shouldn't cost anything to talk with Yahoo! messenger, so I don't know why your mom has a big problem with it....you can also try skype....if you live in the US, you can actually call home and cell phones anywhere in the US and Canada for free.....maybe your mother is jealous because you are so close to your dad and not to her? or she doesn't like your dad spending a lot of time with you...those aren't good reasons anyways...Why don't you ask your mom why she doesn't allow you to talk to your dad? and if she says its money reasons, then tell her that calling him with Yahoo! or Skype is free....and afterall, you have the right to talk to your dad?!?! its not something a normal mother would take away....i hope this all gets fixed so your dad and you can communicate again...

Sadly your mom is feeling very insecure about the relationship you have with your dad. Try to let her know how much you'd like (and need) to have your dad in your life. And that it no way affects the love you have for her. Also let your dad know what's going on. Perhaps he can help you in some way to convince her that he's not trying to 'take you away' from her.
But adults can really be immature when it comes to sharing their children's love.

Tell her you need to have communication with your father and that she should stay out of it. It's not right for her to cut off all communication between you and him, and it's none of her goddamn business. After all, it's YOUR father, and whether she likes him or not doesn't matter. You need to communicate with him and keep your relationship going.
