Family drama and I don't know what to do

[Anonymous]

this is a rare case when I feel all caps are necessary:

PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL YOUR MOTHER AND TALK TO HER!!!

Don't text, don't email, talk to her, like a regular human being, the way people used to do and the way people should do. SO many conflicts, arguments, anxieties, and disagreements could be settled if people just talked verbally with each other. What has happened to society where people would rather hide behind a screen than actually speak to someone, especially someone they love. You can hear their voice, their tone, their immediate reaction, you can ask an immediate question, not spend time brewing over your interpretation of written correspondence.

I don't care if you live in another country, and if there may be a huge time difference. FaceTime her, Skype her for free. Suck it up and pay the fees to call internationally. Find a time, even if it means you have to call when it's the middle of the night for you, and CALL HER. My in laws live in Europe. We have this issue. We always, always try to call instead of emailing and iMessage. No excuses. Call her.

Stop making excuses, op. You want to vilify sand blame everyone else and still stay at your mom's. Just admit it.
