Question
Okay,So I'm 12,I Know That Isn't "Teen" Yet,But It's Close! So Here Is My Problem,My Momma And Daddy Are Always Saying I Got An Attitude,They Just Can't Admit That It's Just The Way I Am! Then They're Always Mad Then Happy With Me,Like One Day I Came Home From School In A Good Mood And My Mom Said Why I Was Acting Like A Bitch.I Said I Wasn't,Bacause I Wasn't! Then She Started Yelling At Me Saying I Roll My Eyes Too,Much...Just Because I Move MY Head DOES NOT MEAN I'M ROLLING MY EYES! So She Sends Me To My Room,And Then About Twenty Minutes Later Shes Calls Me Out Being All Nice Because She Needs Me To Babysit My Little Sister.So My Question Is,Are All Parents That Mean,And Flip-flopy On Mood?(I Think That's Called Bi-Polar?)

Answer
Hello Destiny,

Really touched to read your mental state. You are too young to even think so much about your parents. I do not say you are wrong, but i am really struggling to find words for such small and obviously sweet child. I think you must talk to your MOM(obviously when she is in a good mood) and tell her how you feel when she talks to like that. You know being a father of two sweet daughters I can assure you that your MOM loves you a lot, may be she is struggling with something in her own life and not able to handle it. Just ask her how can you be of support to her and what you want in return. She can die for you if need be, that's my guarantee.

All what is needed in your case is an open dialogue and you need to take the responsibility for that

Feel free to discuss further

May god bless you with all the power and courage needed for this
