Thumbsup Your in a really hard situation, I don't envy you. If your fights with your mum don't usually last long, maybe you can try to talk to her upon making up. Let her know this is a huge change for you to have her friend living with you both, but also let her know you want her to be happy too. Tell her what your feelings are about this woman and how she treats you. I'm hoping that will break your mum out of the routine she might have fallen into. Most importantly, if your mum is tending to be a bit selfish lately then talk about her first.

"I see you've been doing things you enjoy with your friend lately, I love to see you happy" , "Your looking good lately"

This will bring her thoughts to your thoughts ... (I hope)

After that kind of chat with her, bring the conversation to your feelings and that you wish you could be as comfortable in your own home as her friend is and then gently state the reasons why. If your mum is on a "self" trail right now then she might need to see your point from a perspective that doesn't seem like your being selfish.

Keep in mind that when kids become teenagers some mums like to expand themselves for a while. It shouldn't last too long I hope.

Try to make this a time when you know the friend won't be home for a long time and your mum won't be rushing off. If that's not possible then maybe opt for just before bed and ask her for a chat. If you say your sorry for the fights before you get onto the other stuff it might help to open her heart a little.

Good luck and I'll be backing you as you talk to her. Thumbsup

we all go through harsh times at home. last year my mom kicked me out of the house everyday almost and yet i still live there. you should maybe have a talk with your mom, go eat together or something and talk.

ask urself these things.

1. where are u going to run to?

2. What will u do when u have finished running?

3. How will u support urself?

4. Where will u get the money to support yourself from.

If u can honestly answer those questions, then fine, run away. Something tells me u wont be able to.

There are other ways apart from running away
