Mother daughter relation?

My mom and I are different. That’s ok. She needs to respect you for who you are not what she wants you to be. If she’s controlling you, you might just have to ignore her. She’s your mom. She’ll love you no matter what. I say you should talk to her or you might grow up and not want to talk to her. My mom and her mom grew apart too. I never wanted to be like that with my mom so I made an effort to show her the way I am. It worked!

Little steps? Show her a little bit of you that you are scared she will react to. You dont have to completely unload everything all at once. It’s scary to do it that way. Little steps are easier. Put it on a hierarchy, what would the least scary thing be? Do that… and try going higher up based on her reactions…

First you need to decide which “you” is the real you, whether it be who you are at home or who you are in school. If you get along fine, you should be able to confide in her and be able to tell her anything. My mom has a lot of trust for me because I’m very open with her. She doesn’t necessarily like everything that I do, but I’m honest and I tell her. So try to fill her in a little bit at a time and you’ll eventually start telling her a lot. I never used to tell my mom anything, and now it’s two years since I’ve stopped that and I tell her EVERYTHING! It’s really great and she respects me more, which feels awesome since I don’t have to sneak around. Try it out. Good luck!! (:
