Family Troubles

[CakeyBoi_Riley]

I love my family, and don’t get me wrong, they love me too. I know it. But there are sometimes when they make me feel down or like I’m not enough. It’s not intentional, but it still hurts and I can’t find a way to tell them how I’m feeling. It’s mostly with my mother. I love her, but she doesn’t always seem like she loves me back. We’ll get into a lot of fights, and argue about some stuff. And let me say this, I’m a teenager, but I also have bad anxiety, and sometimes that hinders how I feel about things. I need some help please, because I’m at a point where my family seems like strangers to me, but I want to be closer. If you have any advise, please help me.

You're a teenager. You'll grow out of it.

My youngest is 23 and we fight like cat and dog. We still love each other though.

There are times when we are growing up when it feels all is against us, I'm sure you are loved.

Stay calm this period won't last.x

Why don't you write your mother a letter stressing how much you love her, how much your fights hurt and that you want them to stop. Ask her for a hug.
Sometimes we wrap ourselves up in ourselves and forget that other people have feelings too.

Family is always fighting. I live with four other people, but if your family really loves you, then they'd forgive you. Real family are the ones who are closest to you and want to be in your life.
