My Mom's Downward Spiral
I am worried, but yet I don't care what happens to my mom. I know I should care but yet I don't. She is in a downward spiral. More than 3 nights a week she stays out late with one of her guy friends doing 'stuff'. I have called to her atintion that I feel like she hates me, but all that she says in reply is that She feels like I hate Her! Nothing is ever her fault. She Lies all the time about who she is with and where she is, and she hates being home. About a month ago she said that she doesn't like being home because of me and because I treat her like crap. When she is home, she is always on her iphone. I have prayed about it, but sometimes I get soo mad at her because I am her responsability and she just doesn't care about me, or the rest of my family (My Grandma and pet horse). I think I even hate her for what she is doing, but I know that I need to forgive her. Its actually starting to scare me.

When talking with your mom about being out three nights a week with her guy friends you could try explaining to her how that effects you. For example you may worry about her safety or happiness. You are distracted by worrying about her and less able to focus on your responsibilities. If she better understood how her actions effect you she may be more open to listening to you and be less defensive. Ultimately you cannot change her behavior however and it is helpful to focus on what you can do to care for yourself, being a caring daughter and grandaughter.
When it helps to talk we are always here.

Sincerely,
