Is There something wrong with me?

by Ema3, Apr 19, 2008 07:00PM
Im 16 Years old, and i dont no wether its just Hormones,or wether there is something wrong with me?!
Im constantly sad, i moved out of my moms a year and 4 months ago because i was abused my my moms partner. My mom didnt beleive me, and chose to stay with him and not me. Living with my dad and step mom has been hard becuase i dont fit in very well. unless i am out with friends or with my boyfriend im sad constantly. Untill about 2 months ago, i took everything that made me angry or sad out on my mom. Id fall out with her in spite of what she decided she wanted to do just to make myself feel better. i dont feel bad for doing it. But now i just constantly Miss her. My boyfriend is mentally ill and has anger problems and is a sociopath. Its not always easy for me to understand him, but i no he has come to terms with that and understands that i dont understand him sometimes. He told me that he thought there may have been something wrong with me becuase of my sadness and because being with a sociopath is hard..  but its what i want to do. I find it so hard to talk to people in person about how i feel, but i really want to know what is up with me?

Well, you certainly have good reasons for being sad, confused, angry, stressed...you name it. You've had a lot go on. You probably feel like you're not really wanted and don't really ft in with your mom or your dad. And your striking out at your moms shows that you're still hurt that she didn't put you first and believe you. Who can blame you?
I'm not going to excuse your mother's behavior at all. It was absoloutly wrong. Your parents are the ones who are supposed to be there for you and protect and charish you and she didn't. She's missing out on a wonderful relationship with her daughter. How sad is that. When you think you can, I'd try and find some alone time with her and in a calm way talk to her and explain all your hurts and feeling abandoned, etc. It would be good for her to hear it if she hasn't yet. But if she still refuses to get her rose colored glasses off about her boyfriend then you need to tell her Adios and move forward with your life. Let the next step be hers' if there is a next step.
I would suggest counseling. I don't know if your dad would agree to that or not, but I think it would be good for you. If you can't afford one or your dad doesn't seem willing to do that for you then you can get free counseling from any pastor. They are trained in counseling.
You do have a lot on your plate. You are surounded by stress, it sounds like, even with your boyfriend. Try and find something just for you that you enjoy and are good at. It would be a good stress reliever for you. Take some time out just for you. Take a bubble bath, do your nails, read a good book, go for a walk. You'd be surprised at how much that can help.
Take one day at a time. And please try and find some counseling. I wish you the best. God bless.
