My Mom Moved Away!
My mom had to move to North Carolina, but she didn’t want me to have to move, so I’m with my grandma. I hate hurting her feelings, but for some reason, I always pick fights with her. Why am I hurting my grandma like this, and how can I build a stronger relationship with her?
Hey girl! Sounds like you might be having a hard time adjusting to your new living situation. It’s obvious you love your g-ma and don’t want to hurt her, but sometimes when a person is hurting they say mean things to the ones they love.
Take some alone time
Really get to the root of what is bothering you by taking some alone time for yourself. Is it your grandma that is bothering you, or the fact that your mom moved to North Carolina and didn’t take you with her? Once you figure out what the prob is, you’ll have your starting point to make some changes and get some help.
Talk to your g-ma
Tell your grandma how upset you are with yourself when you pick fights with her. Explain how you are feeling and talk with her about what might trigger your conflict. She might have some words of wisdom that could help you.
Remember, it’s ok to be upset about your mom moving to North Carolina. Talk to your grandma and let her know how you are feeling. The more you share, the stronger your relationships with her will be.
