I was distressed to read your thread, and I want you to know anytime you feel like PM me, please do, I am always here to listen and with a virtual shoulder to cry on.

It is real tough being a teen, and its tough being a mother of a teen,(I am one of those), we sometimes go through horrible stages with each other, and feel hatred towards each other, I am not sure if this is just a phase in your life that will pass or their is something more going on here.

Is your mother approachable, catch her in a good mood and maybe try and tell her how you are feeling, sometimes we are so busy with our lives and our own problems, we don't see what is staring us in the face.

Life brings us challenges, ups and downs, and sometimes we feel so much despair that we feel we are better out of it all, but Please Maria believe me that is not the answer, I think we all have had that feeling one time in our life, not always just when we were young, but life is good and you have so much ahead of you, maybe travel, buying a house oneday, getting married , having children, or being totally into your career, and besides there are some precious furbabies in your future who are going to need you.,not forgetting your present furbaby Major.

I can understand your fustration and I do think its mean to say one thing , then turn around and back down on it, but Major will survive, he has your love and if its not too cold where you live, He will be fine, not very re-assuring I know, but unless you can gently persuade your mother otherwise, its a situation here to stay unfortunately.

Here is a BIG HUG to you and Major and please try to cheer up, we are all here to help and lend an ear, if you need to vent then thats good, at least you are not bottling it up, Good luck and I really hope and wish that things pick up in the near future for you, and that you will be happy.
