So I just got back from a 2 week vacation from visiting my dads side of the family for the first time , since they live in another country. (I'm 14 btw) and I met everyone from my dads side for the the first time including my brother. Ever since I got back I've been depressed and sad and not wanting to do anything I've been ditching my friends and telling them I'm busy but really I'm just laying in bed sad wanting to go back. Ive been having a hard time adapting back to my home...I just hate everything about it. When my mom picked me up at the airport it wasn't that big a deal it was just like "oh hey" no hugs or nothing I wasn't exicited to see her I've just been pushing everyone away. I just wanna go back cause everything over thier is so layback an my dads side of the family really grew on me in those short 2 weeks.. I'm just depressed and not in the mood to do anything .. I just hate everything , help please ..

KRP, welcome to the forum.

Life always seems greener on the other side, when we have a short taste of it. Although this is not true.

You would miss you mother and your friends terribly within a short amount of time.

You were a visitor and new to the circle of family so everything was bright and shiny for everyone, however soon it would become old school and boring. You would miss the pace you grew up with.

Make an effort to get out with your friends and back into the group. You will find that you will treasure and still keep in contact with the family you have just met and still love your friends and family here. Your heart is big enough for both!

Peace and courage

How long do you think I'll feel this way ?

Should not be very long. 14 is rough age. Growing up is not easy, especially if your parents are split. However, you seem like a pretty tough person and can handle it.

If you don't do it already, I would recommend you start journaling. Get an inexpensive composition note book and start writing down your feelings, that way, you have a place to put them that know one will see. It will be private.

It will help you organize your emotional thoughts better too.

Peace

KRP1999,

I feel for you. Hang in there, I think Trina made a good suggestion about jouranling. It is a good release.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen

See that's the thing KRP, your were a visitor there. Of course they will make you feel welcome.

You BELONG here, theres a difference. Now that you have met your brother you can stay in touch, the world has never been smaller with communication.

Plus you are a entering your teenage years, and it is natural to be at odds with your Mom. It does not mean that she or you do not love each other, it is just you spreading your wings a bit.

Journal, it may become easier to see.

Peace
Trina
