Family Problems - JUSK ASK MOMO

[AKParish]

Momo, I never thanked you for replying to that letter. Things have settled down with my mom, as far as I know. She moved from my town to just south of Calgary, which is about 6 hours away. I still see her every once in a while and as far as I know, her habit of going out every night and drinking has stopped. She'll occasionally go out, like a normal person would, which is fine. I just stayed as positive as I could and things worked out. Thanks again, Momo.

my parents are split. my dad is far away. my mom is in love with someone that treats us like shit. he's a very big hypocrite. if we stay up late on games he tells my mom and she takes our stuff away. Even tho he plays games, and he says he doesn't to her. I've tried and tried so many times to talk to her, but wont listen. she says she doesnt treat us bad but she and he does. i always wanted to move my with my dad but she wont let me. and its hell here

[gloriamariadc]

AWESOME ADVICE!

Peace out!!

[jackdentreprenuer]

The honest truth to andrew is; you can't change your mom's drinking habits. You can only change yourself. Get a full-time job, pay the bills, teach your younger brothers, but you can only encourage your mom. I've had a situation in this getting my mom's ex drugie step-father out the house when I was 12-15. It took my three years, asking nicely for him to leave, & by humiliating him. But it's something that you'll have to learn through trial, not by advice giving.

love this man! hey momo did you said that you did't finish th e high chool? or i'm wrong just ask u. and where're u from? have a accent. peace!

[TheMomoZone]

Hey kostea 87 thanks...yes i never finished high school but not not to say school isn't important i just chose to teach myself through the power of the web and it worked for me. Thanks you rock. Momo

[Minan3]

yeah its true, im experiencing this myself. and what's sad is that im getting ready to try to go to college, but my mom could be using me, but her troublesome brother hates the fact that me and my sisters still have love for my dad.

[Dadutta]

tell child services on that bad mother

[Minan3]

its not always the mother. it can also be a friends at her job or troublesome relatives that say they are getting on their feet just to mess your family up more

[sulivel]

what's the song at the end, who is it...

[kafcin]

I love that hat...

[Chivalryaintdead]

Pimp hat dude!

Good advice, I wonder if the mother would stop and take it right though.

[navysealboy62]

Momo, great advice. I've had a similar situation and your advice will help him. Despite it being a painful process, it's definitely worth it in the end.

[TheMomoZone]

Thanks nsb62 always nice to hear from you..Peace Momo

[ArctiicF0x]

I think this is one of your best videos I've seen so far.

[TheMomoZone]

Thanks A.F for coming on this journey with us.You rock Peace out Momo

[deadpunkrock]

dear momo i got a problem to. its like you know when you think of a problem i will think its not possible to change. and if ever im gonna change, into a bad thing. im in this situation of thinking like WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO BE A REAL MAN? i want to find out coz now im growing up. what does it takes to be the man? when you have a girl, when you handle problems, like no jobs, depression, have a dates. thank you momo i appreciate any reply i will got from you.

[bombkangaroo]

"Real man" is an opinion, there isn't a benchmark for that.

You should just work out who you want to be, and concentrate on being that guy.

Make the right choice and being a man will follow.

[deadpunkrock]

oh its an opinion, you mean to say, there's no reasons why he's a real man. its just an opinion.

thanks i appreciate, work out hu i want to be and concentrate on being that guy, being a man will follow. cool thank. concentrate on hu u want to be or what you want to do.

[TheMomoZone]

Hey dpr there is no such thing as a real man just the real you.People are attracted by what they fear and then sabotage themselves with the stereo typical version of what they should be.Let me remind you that you are already a man you just tell yourself that your not.Find and nourish your passions and others will come on board believe with you and for you if necessary but if you dont believe first then who will. go for it dude YOU ROCK peace out Momo

[deadpunkrock]

i respect and appreciate all your words of wisdom and your helping hand to people here who's in trouble with there lives and to those who dont know how to deal with their lives.

we have a thing in common, your passion too is being a musician, in that case i must believe that i can be what i wanted to be, improve, and work.

thanks, but being lazy is cool too when i got nothing to do, coz sometimes its better to just relax and not think of anything what do you think?

[GeraldP1983]

Good stuff Momo, keep it up!! :D

[rayofminneapolis]

Hm. Good video. I had not watched any Momo vids since you had your helicopter ride.

Man you are good! I was missing out! I'll have to catch every Just Ask Momo video that comes across now.

[TheMomoZone]

Hey rayofminneapolis ..thanks a lot..we the helicopter ride was noting compared to whats going to happen this year.i thank you for watching and stay tuned my friend. Peace out

Momo

[SOCRATES012]

Good advice momo. Ive been in a similar situation when i was younger and i agree with your advice. In particular, the idea of expressing himself to her in the opposite way to what shes used to. If she still wont listen, you have to look out for number one: YOU. You can do it on your own if you try hard enough. You are all you need to survive. Be strong

[TheDozman]

I hope our young friend gives this a try...it's really good advice. I'm sure he can make it work if he puts his heart into it.

[jasonsgroovemachine]

Momo, we need people like you in public office somewhere on some level. You're the best damn entity on youtube.

Andrew... Good luck to you my friend, I'm sure this message will not be seen by you, but I've got your back my friend.

Peace and love to both of you.

[eventide925]

Momo,

As always your approach is compassionate, And your advice is wise.

It made me ache to hear the fear and saddness in this young man's note.

May I suggest that he may also find support and affiliation through a group known as ALATeen? He will see that he's not alone and gain strength from others who are in the same situation.

Much respect to you!

Eventide.

[adamkirrmusic]

awesome stuff as usual, my friend. Keep up the good work!!

[booya62056]

Your a good dude Momo! Keep puttin great advice out there for everyone to think about!

[observationmode]

I think this teen should just sit his mom down in front of the computer to watch this video. that should get some good dialogue going in the right direction.

[SerinaJK]

I love the song you have at the end :-) On another note, you're right about him having to change up the way he approaches his Mom when talking about something this serious. Great advice!

Jen

[TheMomoZone]
