Terrible mom?

Recently my 18 yr old sis jess ran away from my moms house and is living with friends and at my dads house. My mom is mad at her so she turned jess’ phone line off. (thats why she ran away) but my 27 yr old sis whitney and my mom don’t know that jess and I are talking secretly when she has a phone handy. I have been telling her everything my mom and whitney say about her, which has made jess even more mad at them. But one day my mom whitney and I went to jess’ work to see if she was there, she wasn’t and I was glad. Jess does not want anything to do with them. Since my mom and whitney work together from morning to night all week jess sneaks home to visit me and sometimes has friends over to swim. I am always happy to see her since we are so close, we share all of our dirty secrets. So when we were on our way home I was driving and was defending jess and said some insinuating things to make my mom think about what she really did as a parent to make jess leave. My mom did not like what I was saying. But when we got home my mom pulled the keys out of my car and since I leave my phone in the cup holder whitney told her to take it too. So I said, “give me them back! … You just don’t want me to leave you like jess did!? Ya you just go ahead and treat me like sh*t and take my stuff away! That will make me love you more huh? … Well your wrong! You see how jess turned out when you did that?”

Now my mom wants me to apologize to her before I go to my dads house tomorrow and she is going to take my stuff to work! I have no such sympathy towards that woman! How should I buck up and say it?

Answer #1

She took my car too! but it’s not like she wasn’t yelling too. If she wants to be the “role model” around here and tell me not to yell, she needs to do it and not yell herself!

Answer #2

Did she only take your phone???

I think this was very wrong of her, I mean you can always get another phone but, your relationship is now very broken.

I would be very lucky to have a daughter like you telling me those things if I had done them. You are right to stand up to her and go live with your Dad and Sister.

Good luck with everything!!!

Answer #3

Get your stuff back, then take back the apology lol.. and I know you don’t like her much, but be careful, when you burn bridges sometimes you end up stuck on an island.

Answer #4

your mom seems like she demands your appreciation towards her. what you need to do is sit down and talk to her, tell her it hurt when she kicked jess out. she might understand, or she will be hard headed and think she is the only one that is right. your belongings are nothing compared to your relationship with parents, when sh*t hits the fan where do all kids go? their parents so try and make a bond with your mom and say “these things dont mean as much as our love towards each other I just want to know why you are acting this way” and see what she says.

Answer #5

Suck up to your mom and test your acting skills while you’re at it (wink wink) and then when/if she gives you your stuff back…leave…well that’s what I would do, but I love my mom…but if you have something to say to her…say it. Don’t hold it in cause that could break you down. Just take a deep breath and say it and leave. That’s all you got to do.♥
