i need some advice - i left home

i got into an arguement with my mom the other day and when my dad came home from work she told him that i hit her, which i never did. well he started screaming at me so i packed some clothes and i left. my father locked the door behind me. i went to my friends house which is where i am now and my parents are acting like they don't even care that i left. this sort of thing happens all the time, they scream at me for things i never did. should i go back home or stay here? my friend said i could stay as long as i need but i don't know...

Well, you're mother is a bad influence for lying, and i don't think that locking the door on youre child is right either. But in contrast, leaving home over an argument wasn't right either. Saying sorry may be the hardest thing to say ever, and even though its not enitrely your falt you have to take some blame, walking out on problems always makes them come back to bite you in the butt. when i get into a fight with my mom i usually apologize, but then point out her faults to, so we can see where we are coming from and it is usually ok from then on. Also can you prove they dont care you left? Sometimes people act in rage and it may seem that way and if you havent talked to them how can you be sure? Words can be a powerful tool, even though sometimes it seems next to impossible, but talking could help. You should probably give them to cool of as you need to do for yourself too. but talk to them it might help, and if it doesnt stay with youre friend for a while...parents love you through anything, so i think talking will help.

Best of luck my love,

P.S
if you want to talk further e-mail me

They will always be your parents, and no mather what they do, this will not change. What your mom did was awfull, and your dad's reaction after your mom told him that wasn't the best way to go, nor was locking the door. What I would recomend you, since your father doesn't know the real story, try talking to him either on the phone, chat, mail or in person somewhere without your mom being present or knowing about it. Then after he talks to your mom, you will contact them and try to get things sorted out. I strongly recomend you to go back home eventually, and running away is not the best of options in these situations. It can actually make the situation even more complicated.
Good luck,
Tim

u kno,my mom always gets mad at me and tells me to leave and go to my friends/aunt & uncles house and i get all mad at her. many times i tried to leave (hey she told me to) but then she'd just get more pissed off.

hey,if they ever start abusing you,many of my friends have told me to run to a friends house if family problems keep interfering with my life. i trust them,but my nearest friend's house is 2 miles away. :(

you have a good friend.

just trust them,for most good things in life start off as a simple act of kindness.
