Hey,

it's me again and I need help with my relationship between me and my family. I pretty much live with my Nan now and it's an amazing relationship between us. She is the only person who truly cares for me.

I went to my mums work to give her a French vanilla the other day but she only took the lid off and threw it at me, then she said everything in her life that was bad was all my fault, and she wished I was never born so I turned and left.

My dad just doesn't care. Doesn't call me, ever wish me a good birthday or anything I have hoped for in my life. But I try to keep contact.

After everything that has happened I know I have problems with people. I don't talk to people at school, have not many friends, never go out with anyone.

If anyone can give me advice on what to do to strengthen my relationship with my parents or my bad communication skills please help me.

Thank You

First and mostly you need to know there is nothing wrong w/ you they are not good parents who deserves you! stay w/ your nan, don't go around your mother who is only pulling you down and making you feel guilty about who you are. totally get them out of your mind! get a part time job! start doing things for yourself, find good friends live your life and love who you are. have you ever heard the saying you have the right to keep in the good and throw out the bad! you can do it and also have you checked into counseling not that you need help? but they can help you to deal w/ it. please know you are special and you got everything good ahead of you and only the good choices you make take care of you.

God Bless!

Moo's Mum agony auntOh doll this post makes me so sad. Truthfully I don't think you should try to strengthen this relationship because I can see a long road of hurt for you if you do. Your parents sound like thoughtless gits who did not deserve the precious gift of a child they were given. Concentrate on your relationship with your Nan instead. And if you have time please read the book "Falling Leaves" by Adeline Yen Mah It is a fantastic story about a girl in a similar situation to you. I think you will find it healing. Move on from your parents they have served their meagre existence in your life.

God bless you and best wishes in your journey through this period.
