Mostly A

Your mom is awesome. She is always there for you with encouragement and support. She worries about you first before she gets angry and when you get punishment it is fair and reasonable. Your needs are what matter to her and she will use her own time and energy to make sure they are met. If you haven’t already entered your mom for mother of the year you ought to. She’s that cool!

Mostly B

Your mom is abusive. She does not take her responsibilities towards you seriously in fact she does you serious harm. Staying in your house is not an option. Clearly you are not safe. There are many services available on the internet that can find you shelter right away and make sure your mom never hurts you again. Just do a search for abuse hotlines and find a number for a hotline in your area. Do it now, it might save your life.

Mostly C

Your mother is causing you emotional harm. She is neither supportive nor encouraging although she might try and make it seem like she is. She always qualifies her compliments by comparing you to others. When you have achieved something she will find a way to diminish your accomplishment. Try and address these issues with your mother. She might not be able to handle it, but you need to stand up for yourself. Letting these issues slide can lead to you finding other ways of emotional escape such as eating disorders, self mutilation or drug abuse. Surely that’s not worth it.

Mostly D

Your mom is not a presence in your life. Maybe she’s working too much or maybe she’s just emotionally not available. The truth is she should make an effort. Money is not a substitute for a parents love and attention. No matter how many gifts, tennis instructors and tutors you get, the lack of a parents support will permanently damage your feeling of self-worth. If your mom doesn’t come to you go to her. Tell her you’re a person worth spending time with. If your mom continues to ignore you, believe me it’s not you. Your mom clearly has a serious problem.
