Question - (7 March 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 March 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am just so fed up of my mother... she is so unsupportive of everything I do, all she cares about is her boyfriend. She needs to grow up, and realise that she is responsible for her children! She has to realise that she can't act like a teenager anymore, she cant run arround after boyfriends, leaving the cupboards empty when she has two kids! She spends all her money on going away with her boyfriend, and yet me and my brother haven't been on holiday for four years!

She's never at home, I spend more time at my dance studio than I do at home, purely because I have a family there! However, my dance studio is by my Dads house, and I rely on him to take me there and back as its miles away from my mothers house... but tomorrow night my dad has a work meeting, and so I text my mother to ask her what she will be working tomorrow, to see if she would take me to dance. Bare in mind I have NEVER asked her to take me to dance before, ever! And she replies "I'm off but busy." Which I think was downright rude... becuase by "busy" she means she'll be at her boyfriends. Also, I want to point out her boyfriend lives further away from my mums house than my dance studio, and in exactly the same direction, and I'm performing in front of 130 000 people in less than a months time, not that she cares. I need to get to dance!

I'm fed up of my mothers devil-may-care attitude! I have my gcses in 2 months time, and she doesnt give one. She wont let me study in the house because I "take up too much room" with my notes. There is NEVER food in the house, and she doesnt give us ANY money to buy anything with. She wont apply for free school meals for us so basically I am useing my birthday and christmas money, which was presents off people, to buy food. I am just so fed up, there's nothing I can do! I cant go live with my dad because its too far away from my school, and there is no-where else for me to go! I dont know what to do anymore I just feel totally helpless! Has anyone got any ideas about what I can do? Please please help!

Dear girl,

Coming from India, i can barely imagine that these kind of MOM even exists in the world. In the pursuit of wealth, and individual freedom, society seems to have gone back to 3000 year old tribal age in UK and USA. I am not aware of the socially accepted norm there, and support available in situations like this. I feel every one out there should try to restore the GOD and moral code to solve these problems.

How divorces are generating pains in 3 generations all togethor is evident. I feel you should try to leave your MOM and start living with your DAD.

Definitely talk to your father about all this. He will really want to help somehow. And you need to talk to someone at the school as well, because you're being abused.

C. Grant agony auntFirst, you should make sure that your Dad knows about these issues. Next, you should talk to the counsellor at your school. The local social service agency will likely have means to put thing a bit more right.
