Ok, thats fine! Next problem: Everytime I go somewhere, mom always says "At least someone has a life." I was thinking maybe she has depression. We're moving soon, away from all her friends, so I'm not sure on that decision, because she might be lonely. Any ideas?  |

^^^Wow, I'm really surprised to hear that. It's just, most adults wouldn't inflict that on their kids. My suggestion would be to try to talk to her next time she says it. I don't know your mother, or your relationship with her, so I can't really say, but that's what I'd do.
I say I have no life, too, which I don't...I'm not severely depressed, nor do I dislike myself. I feel that my life isn't too great, but I don't think it can get any better...I feel sort of stuck sometimes. Maybe your mom feels something similar. Unfulfilled, in a sense.
Just ask her what she means by it. If she says nevermind, you may want to try to be more direct. Tell her that it's obvious she wants you to know something if she must always drop such hints, and that you'd appreciate not being strung along. Make sure she knows that you're not trying to pry, but you simply care and want the best for her.
Again, I don't know your mother, and things always vary from person to person, situation to situation, and there will never be one right answer for any problem like this. But if you find these things within your comfort level, I'd suggest them to you.
Good luck!
