Does "ex" not break it down enough? why waste your precious time calling him if hes no going to call you?

My Mother always told me to do my best.\nThat was all they asked. We were happy\nwith that.\nKeep them happy until you are on your own and\n18 yrs old.

It's so refreshing to hear a teenager care about what is going on around them.  It's also great that your mom talks politics with you. Keep on learning as much as you can.  Everyone has the right to be heard.  Anyone complaining needs to get off of their butt and DO SOMETHING!!!

Let your mom know that you'd like to spend quality time with her.  She really might not know that you feel neglected.  Talk to her--and to the evil sister.

Don't beat yourself up over this. You mother understands how busy you are. Of course she loves you and wants you to visit, do your best, have them over for dinner once in a while. Invite them to the kids sporting events. If they can't attend. Take lots of pictures and stick them in a card and mail them off to them. It would be a nice surprise in their mailbox.  It's the little things that you do that will ensure your mom that you love her too.  Wish I could have been more help but this is what I do with my own mother and it seems to work well for us.

First of all; you're married. You need to be united with your husband, not your mom. Secondly, you need to learn to detach from your mom and her situations,and the 11 yr. old, if you don't think your mom is a capable mom, you could take him and be that capable mom yourself. Your mom has issues. Personally, it sounds like she likes to sleep around. The quality of your life has to be there for you, and your husband, and the new family you are raising.

The only thing you have to consider is where you are living.  Yes, you're 18 and an adult but if you are still living under your mother's roof then you need to follow her rules.  Still, there's no reason that you can't talk to her like an adult and explain that you would like some more freedom.  The biggest part of this is how much she trusts you.  If you've given her reasons to think that you can make good decisions then you're likely to get what you're looking for.  If you've shown her you can't, she's likely as not to tell you to follow her rules.

what is so important about where you live now,moving maybe a better place to make new friends and cutting your wrists is not going to change the fact of moving unless you die then you wouldnt no if they moved or not so why put your parents through all this shit tell them how you feel and see why they want to move it maybe for the better like a better job means more money you can always write to your friends so do the right  thing and talk to your parents and get some help cause if you would take a big risk on killing yourself because your moving then you need some professional help

I can relate, somewhat. I live on my own with my 3 children, but my parents are ALWAYS commenting on buying a house together. They do alot for me, so it's hard for me to tell them that buying a house WITH them is not my goal. When they suggest buying a house, it makes me feel like they don't think I'll ever find someone to love me and my kids, and eventually marry me. I'm young and I had kids young, but I'm not going to die alone! They always try to make it more appealing by assuring me they will stay out of my business, but it's never that simple. Try saying it like this....\n"Mom, we love you. Please know that I appreciate all you do for me and how much we love spending time with you. You taught me so much and one of the most important traits you passed on to me was independence. I know you want us to be happy and I know it makes you proud to see me accomplish things all on my own. And I am proud when I can tackle things on my own as well. I'd love to buy a house someday, but I'm not going to do it with you. It's gotten a little "tight" around here for all of us. We're too close to realize sometimes that living with a complete stranger is less stressful. Especially since I don't have to worry about that person, like I do you. I appreciate your concern and wanting us to stay close physically, but it's really for the best. I value our time and memories together more so when we are not together 24/7. Again, we love you but I need to do this. And please don't take me getting a room mate as a reflection on you. I need to feel like I have a life seperate from yours sometimes. I know I can do this."\n\nGOOD LUCK!

can't you see each other without the aid of anybody? there are lots of ways you know. but, just in case that there are no more options left, tell your mom, who knows, your mom and her bestfriend might even like the idea. :)
