Subject: "Mom and I constantly argue

My mom and I don't get along. I thought by my moving to my dad's would make things better between the 2 of us, but things have just gotten worse. We constantly argue and I’m getting tired of it. We have petty arguments and they are so stupid. She's needs to let me grow up and be a teen. She has fits about me going to the mall, or hanging with my friends. Sometimes I don't get it because she's always telling me what she did as a kid... I've tried talking w/ her and everything. There's nothing else I can do... please help me.

Dear K,

First of all, relationship between teens and their parents are usually not easy as it is a new phase for the whole family. You now have new interests and desires and your parents have to get used to somebody who is growing and is now questioning their rules.

I believe you should talk to your mother and open your heart. She might be hurt because you moved out and that may have made things more difficult. Tell her how you feel. It is not going to make the problems disappear, but it will certainly make you feel at least a bit better as you will have tried something.

One last thing: remember that no matter how things seem now, she is probably concerned about you and therefore trying to protect you from all she knows there is out there.

Take care,

Carine
