well I’m not getting along with my mother…. i feel like she always has something about me to complain about. What am I doing wrong? It appears to be that she just wanted to spend time with me (saying my priorities are messed up), but then she believes I’m really in need of a relationship with Christ, but then it also seems like she thinks that I can’t keep family secrets (I guess I can’t -its hard not to tell my friends when I feel I need some kind of release from my stress. But there is also her thinking that I am keeping secrets from her; but I can’t tell her everything, especially if there is part of the past that I want to leave behind.

I feel like I’m the problem of the family- the only one she feels is not good enough. Its really hurtful and I’m sure she doesn’t mean it like that (sometimes im sure of it) but it really hurts my feelings that she focuses on my problems more than anything else. All she seems to do is give advice (constantly) and tell me what I’m doing wrong. I just want to know what I’m doing right for once.
