2 years ago, my mom and dad told me that my dad was going away to a camp. About a month later, I found out that they used camp to cover up prison! I was depressed for the longest time...Now, my dad is just being released. My mom talks crap about my dad all the time about how she hates him and how he is a horrible person, when really, my dad was pretty much my best friend. We did everything together. My mom has MS and she's such an unorganized person with the shortest temper you'll ever see. She'll go storming around my house throwing her papers everywhere, cursing and screaming at us. She doesnt hit us, but she threatens to quite often. She'll bust open my room door and tell me to clean the whole house when I do things for her all the time. I'm so sick of it...I was watching Dr. Keith Ablow and they said that this was called the anger illness where you call your kids names and stuff and thats all she does. Call me names and talk about my dad being the worst person ever. (Parent Alienation Syndrome) I don't think theres any way to cure this problem...I'm on the computer all the time and I tell her to pretend that I don't even live here and all she needs to do is feed me...Don't even pay for my education. I just want her to stop yelling at me and focus on my other siblings who she yells at still but less often.

What can I do? Please and thank youu.

I JUST tried it, and she got really angry and started yelling

>_<

Eve-

I've been in a similar situation, and it seems like your mom is going through her own emotional issues, and then taking them out on your siblings and you.

No you can't change the way your mom feels, but it is not your fault that she takes her anger out on you. What i suggest doing is speaking to a school counselor, or if your mom is rational enough trying to talk to her one on one about your feelings. Really though in a situation like this it's good to have a mediator, who isn't emotionally attatched.

I would say she probably resents your father for not only leaving her but also her children. She probably doesn't realize how offensive it is to you, so maybe if there is a time when you both aren't in a tense situation try bringing it up.
