Relationship with my mother
Family & Caregivers / by aquaEast3373
Last post

...See more Im 20 and i still live at home. Im the oldest in my family so i am the responsible one in my parents eyes. My mum and I are close but lately we have these rough patches where she picks arguments with me and because shes my mother I can’t do much about it. It’s effecting my mental health and my patience living at home. The arguments are over the most silly things but she will drag them out and not speak for me for hours or days and talk about me to the rest of the family. My dad and siblings don’t take her side or mine but its clear that they think its silly too but they will never say that to her. I just feel like its a losing battle because no matter what way she spins it shes always the mother and shes always right. I don’t want to fight with her but i want to defend myself also. Anytime i try defend myself I’m told i have an attitude. She’s never apologised for any of the arguments she just starts speaking to me again after some time like it never happened. Any advice?

Breakup and friend group issues
Relationship Stress / by aquaEast3373

...See more This may seem confusing. My boyfriend of 3 years and i broke up 6 months ago. He broke up with me but i had wanted to leave for a long time but never had the strength as a lot of gaslighting had happened. We were in the same friend group also. When we broke up the friends in the group gravitated towards me which I didn’t expect but they knew that i was hurt and that my ex was in the wrong. We didnt end things on very bad terms but i was heartbroken and he had told alot of lies. Months went by and i stuck with my friends but he kinda ditched them all to join a new group. These friends are my best and only friends and i love them all. But lately whenever my ex decides to join back in with things they lose loyalty to me and make me feel like i have nobody. I understand that they are friends with him too but he hasnt been making the effort with them and i have. I dont want my friends to cut him off but its gotten to the point where meet ups are arranged and im not invited because hes there with his new girlfriend. He has plenty of other friends and jumps from group to group but I considered these friends as my best friends for life. I have no bad blood with the ex but im still healing and ive been given the option to hang out with him and his new gf or sit at home by myself. I just wish i had one friend who would choose me and at this stage i dont feel like ive anyone to talk to about it because it could go back to my ex somehow. Any advice?
