Im at breaking point with my mum...?

i'm sorry to hear about your dad. and i feel really bad for your mum. she lost her husband and all she's left with is a son who dislikes her. i'm expecting our first baby, a boy. and have so many dreams and hopes. going through so much pain. and my husband is working day and night to fix his nursery, to save money for him. you have no idea what parents go through until you become one. i don't blame you. i was the same way. but i can tell you this much that i'm sure your mom loves you more than she loves anyone else in this world. the very thing that she keeps mentioning you two are so much alike, means she likes you. as we humans never compare anyone with us if we don't like them. its just that raising kids is hard. raising teenagers or adolescents is even harder. they're hard to understand and the sudden transition from a dependent 10 yr old to a 12 yr old or a teenager who's always trying to be independent in all his decisions is not easy, and losing her husband at this point must be extra hard. i'm sure you love your mom too and would like to have a good relation with her. why don't you try to befriend her. i really don't think she got over your dad's death. help her with that. go out with her. buy her small gifts or pick flowers for her and give her a small bouquet once in a while. listen to her. try to do things her way and try to help her around the house. or at least tell her that you love her and you're there for her. you have to realize that she is still going through stages of grief (read the 5 stages of grief on line) and when she is done with the grieving process, she'll start meeting her friends again so hang in there.
