I'm planning on running away tomorrow because I really do not like my mother's boyfriend. Don't ask me why. He hasn't really done anything wrong. It just makes me so depressed. And I've talked to my mother about this but it's like she doesn't care that I am like this.
Sooo, tomorrow I'm leaving and I'm not telling where I'm going.
But I'd like to try and talk to her again but what should I say for her to actually look into this?
If not, see ya!

Tell her you are depressed. There is something that's making you unhappy, and it's not clear what it is. Something is really bothering you, and you need to get to the bottom of the problem and solve it. Running away is not going to fix it. You'll just be depressed by yourself wherever you go if you do not fix the core of the problem. Get help, and fix the problem. Running away will not help you.

Sweetie, you need to sit down and talk to your mom. When you do, if there is something specific that you don't like, that's what you need to tell her.
If you can't talk to her, do you have anyone else that you can talk to about this? An aunt, teacher, older siblings, friends mom??
Running away isn't going to solve anything.
How old are you? Is it possible that you are jealous that your mom now divides her time between you and her boyfriend?? I don't know your family background, if there was a little more info, I could probably give better advise. Have you and mom been the only ones that were together for a while, did your dad leave, do you have brothers and sisters?
You have to realize that your mom is trying to give herself back a life, and also realize that you are growing up and will one day have a family of your own, you cannot expect your mom to "wait" until you decide you have a life, and her being alone until then.
Surely you don't believe it would be a better situation to run away than to stay and try to work things out. Try getting to know the guy, you and he may get along well if you give him a chance...

If your mom's b/f hasn't really done anything wrong and you just don't like him, then there isn't any reason for you to run away and cause your mom undue heartache and cause the taxpayers and police officers time and money. Be mature about the situation and realize that you are not going to like everything that life dishes out to you and learn coping mechanisms for life and move on. Sit your mom and her b/f down and see how the 3 of you can learn to co-exist better so that your life isn't being endangered by running away from home. Being on the streets can cause you your life and you may never see your mom again once you decide to run away or you may come back home violated. Hugs to you and good luck.

Sweetie, please don't run away. There are going to be a lot worse things waiting out there for you than your mother's bf, people who you will KNOW why you don't like them.
Are you sure your mother's bf is the problem? It sounds like you are a little depressed and are looking for a reason. Are there other things going on that are giving you grief right now? Please talk to your mother, and talk to a school counselor when you go back in a few days, and whatever you do - please don't run away. It will not solve your problems; it will make them much, much worse.

OK STOP NOW!!! Think about what you are doing. How old are you? Where is your father? do you have any brothers and sisters? Think about them to not just your self. Running from the problem does not solve it. Flat out tell her that you don't like him trust him or what ever it is. If she care about you in any way she will understand and you could talk about this. My mother dated some dussies in her time but I never ran from them. I stay whith friends a lot but I still lived with her. How will you survive out there with no food no money no job no one to help you. I ddon;t know how old you are but it sounds like you are only a teen. please think about this before you do. There are crul people out there that don't care about you think your mother would. Just talk to her TONIGHT!!!

sweetie, running away to get her attention is not the answer. Believe me, i considered it when I lived with my parents and luckily I chose not to. It will just make things worse. You could get hurt, or kidnapped, or worse. And if not, then you know that your mom will be furious when she finds you and you'll probably get grounded anyway. She loves you, but she's just overwhelmed with her new boyfriend right now. It will get better. I promise. ;)

Running away is not the answer. It will only make your life worse. Have a heart to heart talk with your Mom. Tell her how you feel. DO NOT RUN AWAY!

You need to talk to your mom again and tell her what is going on. Explain to her why you dont like him. I am sure she cares, but they say love is blind, so she might not see that something is bothering you.

running away will solve nothing at all. as you said this guy hasn,t done anything wrong to you so maybe you are just filling down or missing your father.
