Me and my mom always get into fights over stupid things…. It’s usually about money, my friends or boys. Yesterday we got into a fight over a $30(Canadian) present that I bought for my best friend. I don’t think $30 is too much for a present. She is just depressed and she likes to make a big deal out of little things. So yesterday she kept yelling and swearing at me when we were driving to the library… I got mad and I started yelling at her too. She got very mad and asked me to get out of the car but I didn’t so she parked the car and left me in the car. I was in the car by myself for an hour but she never came back. It was around 9:30. I didn’t know what to do I didn’t even have the keys to my house. In the darkness i started walking to my house which was 30 min away from where I was. I walked by a police station and decided to ask them for help. They heard my story and asked my parents who were at home to come to the police station.

After she came to the police station…all of a sudden she started acting so innocent and the police asked if I wanted to go home with my mom. I did but me and my mom haven’t talked since last night. I don’t wanna talk to her but I also have some needs (like rides and money) I dunoo what to do.

Just mention the police once in a while that should keep her quiet.
If you are in school you might talk to a counselor and get tips on how to communicate better with your mother. It might improve things enough to make it bearable.

It sounds like your mother is just not aware that your decisions are always right and beyond question. She really doesn't have any say in how much you spend. The only thing she is supposed to do is provide money whenever you need it. She should also provide transportation whenever you need it. It is totally unthinkable leaving you out after dark. Why I bet even when you go out on a date you are always home before dark. It is good that you went to the police station. Maybe you can go back and they will put you in a foster home or may a home for wayward girls where you will be treated like the princess you are. Your mother may realize that if she needs to take in washing in addition to whatever else she does to provide you with enough spending money she should do it!

I'm in my early 20's and live at home; my mom and I fight all the time. Sometimes she is right about things, other times she is not. You aren't always going to get along, Screaming at each other in the car, is normal. However, I think it's a little odd your mom left you alone in the car, and then went home without you. That's a little extreme. She is the parent and see needs to realize that yelling and screaming, is normal. But, leaving you stranded is not. She did not act in the most apprioapte manner, but you aren't that innocent either. How about some mother/daughter counseling to help you communicate and build a relationship w/ your mother.

Moms are not perfect but with a little understanding and communication from both sides things will work out.
Get some help for BOTH of you. A third party listening and directing usually helps. Maybe mom has issues which she will not discuss with you but sadly has vented on you.
Try talking to dad.
Good cop/bad cop works in our house. When kids are in a strop with dad, mom becomes the listerner/mediator/good cop and vice versa.
Keep loving your mom and good on you for respecting her!!
Keep a record of this 'moment' you both may look back on it years later and have a good cry/laugh.
Good luck...

I had the same problem when I was a teen. So much so my mom and I even got into fist fights! (Her hitting me first.)Your mom may just have severe depression like mine does. However, thats no reason to just leave you alone like that. Anything could've happened. All I can say is hang in there until you're 18 then move out asap! After I moved out me and my mom became the best of friends!

Okay, first off you need to realize that if you're spending their money your parents have the right to some say in how you spend it. You could get yourself a part time job and use that money for your gifts.
However, your mom seriously crossed the line leaving you stranded like that. Apologize to your mom for your part in the argument and explain that she really hurt you by leaving you there like that. And make sure you always have your keys. That's just a basic rule for everyone.

please forgive me for what I'm about to say-but NO mom should leave her child in the car and walk away no matter what. I'm sorry you and your mom are having a hard time my son and I are to and I would never leave him in a situation where he might get hurt. You need to talk to someone-if you can't talk to your parents than maybe a grandparent, a school counsler, or even go back to the police station and talk to them. Your mom needs help in a major way. Talk to somone soon and good luck to you-

i tend to agree with your mom $30 is alot for a gift if its not a wedding or baby shower. but if its your money so why worry about it. i think you and your mom should go to counseling it does help if you want it to. my mom and i are very close and i would not trade it for the world, if you have a cousoler at school i would go and talk to them and see if they can help you. or try to talk calmly with your mom.

sounds like you are about 15 or 16 and if thats the case I have seen very few kids this age that can get along with their parents.
