Hey, I don't know if my case is entirely normal, it probably is, but I'm having more and more arguments with my mum. I'm 13, 14 in a few months, and my mum and dad split up when I was 11. So my dad moved out 2 years ago. Ever since then, my relationship with my mum is going downhill, and I've just been getting more and more depressed. I see my dad once a week, every saturday, and this is kind of a relief for me, because it means I can get away for a bit.
I would really like some advice as what to do, because I don't really know what to say to her :/ I've tried once telling her how I feel about all the arguing, but that then ends up in a row. I've spoken to my dad about it, and he says to try and work things out with my mum, but I can't do it that easily. According to my dad, my mum's 'stubborn' and she has to get her own way :/ He says he's always happy to have me over there one night, but the thing is, his girlfriend (my parents split up because he had an affair. According to him he 'No longer felt my mum loved him' but she did..)
So yeah. I'm not sure what to do. As well as that, I've got lots of choices to make at school, that will affect my career. I just feel like I have so much pressure on me at the moment. Also my school life.. It's not so much the people, or the lessons, it's just the fact that, I don't know, I don't kinda 'fit in' that well. People are always calling me a 'nerd' and stuff, cos I get my work done before I chat, and sometimes I'm quiet and they call me depressed, but I don't know what to say sometimes.
I went on a bit there lol, but hopefully you could give me some advice for my home life with my mum, and perhaps my school life as well? Thank youuu :)
