My house used to be a comfortable place to come and relax in. I can't remember when this all started but I think it was around the 3rd Grade. My mother has filled this 4 bedroom, 2 story home into the most embarrasing thing on the street. Even the breezeway is filled with junk! She goes shopping and buys things she already has (in bulk might I add) and she brings them home and lays them around in their bags never to be even looked at again.

I'm 16 and I can't have friends over, andit's really damaging to my social life. It's so embarrasing to see the horrified look on my friend's faces when they pull up to my house. And the bus- that's a completely different story. To hear the kids mumble about why my house "looks so trashy". It's hard to not resent her for all of this. The junk stresses me out. But if i bring it up she gets angry and blames me for it, saying that I should help her clean. Is there anything I can do to make her realise she's tearing our relationship apart and hurting me?
