Parents Divorced. I Stay With My Mom And I Cry Over Little Things. This Does Not Happen At My Dad's Place. Reason Behind The Findings.

I am a 16 year old boy and I keep having problems with crying over small things, I have been like this for at least a year or two (my memory is not great) and I want to know why I cry over little issues. For example about 20 minutes ago my mother told me that I can't see my step dad tonight because she has to go out to collect some things, she then said I could see if i could go Monday or Tuesday. I knew that this was fine i had no problem with this at all as I knew that I would see my step dad in a few days. But for some reason I started to get upset and started to cry and I have no idea why as like I said I was fine with the fact that I would see him soon. I always cry at things like this and it really annoys me as my mum keeps asking me why am crying and when I say I don't know she gets frustrated as she wants to know whats wrong with me and probably thinks that I don't want to tell her whats wrong. This only happens at my mums house as my parents are divorced, but when I go to my dads house I don't seem to get upset about anything at all. I really want to know why I get so upset about nothing and if there is a reason to why I cry.

Hello,

Thanks for posting,
at.
From your description, you obviously feel more comfortable at your dad's house than with your mum. It is coming from your mind and you will be unable to control that given that it is coming from your subconscious. You do not seem to have any obviously conflicts with your mum and see to love the presence of your step dad more which means you probably have more common things you share with him rather than your mum.
I will suggest that first you talk this out with your mum and let her know that this is really troubling you and that you want it to stop. Then you can visit a psychotherapist to help guide you through having a better relationship with you mum's home.

Hope this helps
