I know it's probably not fair of me but i can't help it...ever since she got sick and her and my dad got divorced I hate her. We fight everyday and I'm only happy when i'm with my dad. She sits around the house all day and I have to do a lot of the cleaning, along with everything else I have going on. She keeps telling me to just move out, and whenever I tell her I'm leaving she starts crying and asks for a second chance. I'm getting so sick of it, I want to live with my dad but I know if I do my mom's family would hate me and I'd never get to see them. They already think that i'm a horrible child because of what she tells them. But they don't have to live with her. I try talking to my friends but none of them really know what I should do. I'm always unhappy and my friends really have no clue. My little brother doesn't want me to leave and I think that's the only reason I've stayed for this long, I don't know what I should do...if anyone's ever dealt with something similar please help.

I'm younger than you but I feel really sorry for you. You remind me of Cinderella. Ask your mom if you can visit your dad in a while and then back to her, tell her you absoultely love her. But you really miss your dad. Talk to her don't act like begging her. Tell her the truth but in a nice way. She still loves by showing she always wants you but she needs to see her dad. Talk to her in a really mature manner. Good luck I hope it will all work out!!

This is serious and you need to talk to you mom and find out if there is some organization out there that can help, this is not your responsibility and you have a right to experience being a teenager and the same for your brother. At some time your mother is going to have to take care of herself so she might as well get started now and if it takes you to get that across to her then do it or you will bypass your teenage years and really hate your mother more than you do now leading to a life of resentment just like your mother is living now. Tell her you’re sorry that your dad wasn't strong enough or have enough love to keep the marriage going and that you can't be held responsible for their decision to divorce. You need a more nurturing home to live in and that you would like for it to be with her but if things don't change then you are going to move out. Give her a chance to make changes and if she doesn't then ask your dad for help, but you have to remember he left the family and his wife because he couldn't deal with reality. You are a great young lady and deserve better and it looks like you are going to have to fend for yourself and make some adult decisions so that you can experience your teenage years. God bless you and I pray that this help in some little way.
