My mothers friends are worried about her, should I be worried also?

Ask your mom how her friends are.  You might find out that they have done something to hurt or anger her, which is good because then you don't really have to worry about your mom not being "ok".  Maybe she has new friends that are kinder or more fun to be with.  \nDuring this conversation, you should be able to get your own read on your mom, so you can see for yourself if she seems to be her normal self to you or not.  \nIf she does not seem normal, then you should pay her a visit.  Make sure she is not depressed or something.  If needed, help her find the help she needs (just like, I hope, she took care of you when you needed it).  \nGood luck!  I can tell you care about her.

You shouldn't worry a lot. Everything will be fine. Just give her some time. if she really is a good friend, then she will tell you what has been going on, and why she has been reacting that way.

That's what mom's do...and it's probably because she loves you and worries about you!!

not just on my space but everywhere there are predators who pretend to be someone they are not.  your mother is just trying to elimate the possibility that you might be physically hurt or preyed on.  besides...if only all your friends have it, whats the point if you can call them or talk to them at school?

It's not fair that your mother seems intent on spending more time with your sisters children than with yours. However, it sounds as though your sisters children are not as fortunate as yours with respect to having a loving and good mother. So, take this into account when you're judging your mothers actions and take pride and strength from the knowledge that you're the better mother, something many women wish they could be. You're young, beautiful and ovbviously have a very compassionate heart though I suspect you're unhappy with life for many reasons. I also suspect your devoted entirely to your childrens happiness and well being while ignoring your own. Don't do that completely. You need your life too and you need friends who support that for you so reach out. Make friends, new ones if you have too, people who will share and listen to you. We're out here for you.

Your friend is ill, she needs professional help and hopefully her Mom will help her get it.  You are being a good friend to her, stay that way and help her throught the next months which are going to be difficult for her.  I wish her well...;

Yes. You need to communicate better with the son, and your girlfriend. If you tell someone you are going to be somewhere, but something comes up, call and say so. Perhaps the 2 of you weren't on the same page. You thought she'd be ok, and she thought you'd be with her. Nobody's wrong, you just didn't see the situatuion the same way. That's called life. Right now, or as soon as possible, go over to their house. Sit the mom and son down. tell them that you know they are feeling slighted, but they need to know that wasn't at all your intention. You were overwhelmed with responsibility at the time, and you should ALL do a better job expressing expectations. A SIMPLE CALL FROM EITHER ONE OF YOU TO PUT YOURSELVES "ON THE SAME PAGE". Even if you disagree, at least the other person will know where you stand and know that there was no bad intention. the son actually sounds like a pretty good communicator for his age!!! Tell them that you love them and you feel terrible that they were upset.Often, when we take the responsibility, it opens up the other person's eyes to the fact that this was not something that you should turn into a bad situation, and we are all human.\nBy theway, the $ issue. tell her exactly what you told us. tell her you'd love to lavish her like the queen she is to you, and give her lots of attention.

People always have some kind of situation like this.  Well I don't understand why your mother and brother would insult her in any way, but that is something that a best friend would not want to here from their best friend's family.  If it hurts you that you feel as if your best friend is not considering you their best friend anymore, speak to them and tell them the complete truth.  Hang around other friends too, and try to get close to them also.  As time goes by people change, but you can't make another person feel the way you do.

It could mean cancer, or it could be a benign tumor that isnt hurting her but is just there and in the way. Dont start worrying until you know for sure, and if it is cancer, then the best thing you can do for your mom is just be there for her. Take a deep breath when you start feeling overwhelmed, and then relax your body...until the results come back you will feel stressed out and panicky, but truly, until you know for sure do not freak out...your mom needs you to be strong for her right now, and if she is worrying about how you are taking things, then she wont be able to focus all of herself on getting better! I wish you the best and give your mom a hug from me!

well she certainly has a mental disorder, multiple at that. \n\npersonality disorder and depression I am sure there is panic/anxiety in there too \n\nShe really needs help, she needs medication and a good evaluation. \n\nHere is something for you. I know you are worried about your mother, I dont know how old you are. Make sure that you have relative that knows what the situation is so that if there is a time where she does that a relative is there to save the day. Because if by chance you were unsucessfull at stopping her, you might blame yourself. Please do not blame yourself. Seek therapy for yourself also, through your doctor or school.\n\nNow I wouldnt recommend this to any child to do, but call Social Services to get your mom the help. Youmight get placed in a foster home or with relatives until your mother gets help, the court can order her to do it and/or commit her themselves.

I think you have to eventually come to grips with the fact that\n\nyour mother has mental/emotional issues and that they have\n\nnothing to do with you. You need to realize that you're caught\n\nin the middle of this insanity, and that eventually all will\n\nbe well. Ride it out, nothing you can do at the moment.\n\nYour mother does not sound well. But I can be wrong.

I went back and looked at the questions and answers.  You were very careful not to reveal anything about her, except for the problem.  I think that she is taking her stress out on you.  She doesn't realize what a good friend you are being to her.  She does need help, and much more help than you can give her.  Can she go to her parents?  I want to say thank you to you, you are showing what a true friend is.

Two of my friends mothers have died it is a very sad time because you are without the most loyal, loving, caring, woman you will ever meet in your life. Lets start off with my neighbors. They have a boy my age who was ten at the time and a daughter who was only three when the aweful event occured. Their mother had been hopitalized for almost too months with a very serious cancer and she saddly died. There was a lot of mourning and nothing seemed to cheer either of them or their father up. We tried invited them over for dinner, taking them to the movies, playing whole family games outside like flash light tag, badmitten, soccer, basketball. Nothing seemed to work. I especially felt bad for their young girl who would have to go through puberty and such withouth her mother which I would not have been able to do with out my mother. About a year later it went back to normal and the mourning wasn't still going on even thought they were oviously still upset and probably thought about her everyday. About a month ago a classmate of mine lost her mother. She was at school bright and early the next day which seem odd. She didn't cry, frown, or seem at all upset. This girl and her mother did not have a good relationship. She was in my kindergarten class when her mother was put in to a mental institute and moved in with her grandmother. Her mother had tried to hurt her and hurt herself. I remeber he once telling me her mother had run over her own foot with a lawn mower. There were also many other little strange, gross stories. She never really seemed upset about any of these things happening and I think that is why she did not care much when her mother passed. I think the mourning period will last occording to how close you were to you mother. My neighbor was attached to his mother and was sad for a very long time. My classmate did not have a good relationship with her mother so she did not get very upset about her mothers death. If you friend was attached to her mother she will probably be sad and feel as though a part of her is missing for the rest of her life. For right now there isnt much you can do to make her feel better it isn't a subject that can easily slip your mind. Just try to be kind and wait until she feels better. Don't try too hard that its obvious that you are trying to make her feel better. Good Luck. I hope that you friend comes out okay. All the love too you.

Your mom is looking out for you. You should not be allowed to do what ever you want. Do you see the news at all these days.  There are a Lot of things going on, even with people  you trust and you think they would never do some of the terrible things that they do. No one else will care for you and love you as much as your parents. You may not see it now, but when you get older you will appreciate that you had parents who looked out for your best interest. You are at the age were most children don't like much of what the parents say or do. With that said I do not think it is right for you mother to call you stupid. Try to talk to your mom about the name calling. Tell her how it makes you feel.

They could be both overprotective and concerned,which you should be greatful for cuz alot of parents just don't give a S*** about their kids.I can tell you that there are alot of sick people out there in the world,when I was younger I had to call my parents if I was going to be late coming in I had to call at 11:00pm, if i was a minute late they would freak out.Which I never could understand why back then,till a school mate of mine was found dead,she was only 15 years old,she had gone to a party,when she decided to leave the party she was walking home took a ride by someone she thought she knew.Well that person that she thought she knew raped and smashed her head in with a rock.To this day they still haven't found her killer.So that means he is still walking around the streets.Look what happen to that poor girl in NY when she was leaving the bar. Look what happen to her,how she was found.And I could go on.That's why they worry.Parents love their children they just want to be able to protect them all the time. Maybe they have miss your sister and they don't want to lose you.I'm sure they have some stories about sick things that have gone on in there life time.When you finally have children of your own you'll understand. Good Luck.... and take care.P.S. just remember your parents love you and want to make sure your always safe. You should thank them.
