My mother is pretending like I don't exist. I am 18 years old and I really do miss talking to my mom. She got mad at me because I am doing better than she is when she was my age and now I heard she is jealous and wants nothing to do with me what should I do to get my mom to start talking to me she is also keeping me away from my 8 year old brother who is down syndrome and keeps asking about me according to my relatives. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO!
I don't live with her anymore she kicked me out and she refuses to let me anywhere near her house I never did anything wrong!

Sounds to me you dont really have a supportive mother that cares about you. That's really sad, do you know why she's like that? Maybe you should try talking to her about it, if that doesnt work out then I guess its not worth it. If family cant be there for us, remember we still have friends that care about us. Good luck with ur mom situation. :)

Let her cool down. I don't see why your mom is jealous of you in the first place. She should be happy that you are doing better for yourself then she did at your age. I would call you mom and try to talk to her about the situation. Tell her that if she doesn't want to talk to you that's fine, but don't take it out on your brother as well. He's your brother and you want to spend time with him that's understandable.

that sucks. im sorry u have to experience that. i grew up without a mom (she died when i was 9) and i dont know what having a mom feels like as a teenager, but i do have some play moms.
try calling her and inviting her to lunch. or just write her a letter and ask questions.. and have her call you for the answers if she's willing.
if she's jealous of you thats wrong. she should be proud of you.
maybe she is frustrated and took her anger out on you? you guys should get along. print out your question and everyones answers u received and MAIL it to her so she can read it.
i was on my own as a teen living with friends, relatives so i know how hard it is to be on your own young..good luck.

If you really want her in your life then you need to confront her and just hammer things out. A part of her has to feel bad for treating you this way, but pride is a hard thing to get over. Deep down parents want their kids to have and do better than they had or did.

Sounds like you need to talk to her directly and find out what's going on. I doubt it is because she is jealous of you. Perhaps it is because since you left she has your brother's responsibilities all to herself. Offer to come over and help sometime. As for her kicking you out, parents usually don't do that unless there is a reason.

That actullay does not surprise me. Many parents become jealous of their children if they are doing better than them in life, however, they will try and hide it. The best parents are those who are joyous that you are doing better than they were. I am sorry about your mother it seems to me you shouldn't try and make her appreciate you but try and gravitate toward more positive people who want the best for you.

Your Mother may have clinical depression. Have a child with special needs is work. I know! Sounds like she's blaming you and could use a good psychiatrist!
