Hi, i'm a 15 year old female in a
relationship of 2 years. My mom
disapproves of him for no reason. I know
you may be thinking "well she probably
does have a good reason" but if you know
her you would understand. She has
communication problems, what I mean by
that is she has trouble expressing
herself. When I try to talk to her, we
end up arguing. It stresses me out that I
can't talk to my mom and it doesn't seem
to affect her. Well I learned that it
does affect her, she's just really good at
hiding her emotions. She always tries to
be in control, mean, the boss of
everything, etc. If I disagree with her
on something and express myself calmly,
she won't even try to have a normal
harmless discussion with me, she just says
something like "whatever" and tries to
drop it. Once she was being mean to my
step-sister and I stood up for her. I was
saying how she was being to hard on her
and she was being mean, she said "well i'm
mean to everybody" and I said "yea we
know, and we're sick of it." then she does
the worst thing I think she could do. She
laughs. She gets offended by harmless
jokes, but she laughs when we try to be
serious with her. She worries alot and is
very stressed out, and when she takes it
out on me I feel the same way. I hate not
being able to get along with my mom. I
want to help her so that we can mend out
relationship. We tried counseling and it
did nothing. Someone please give me ideas
on how to help her or how to cope with
this. Thanks in advance.
