Thank you for opening up to us about your situation! We understand how difficult this must be for you, and we’d like to offer some helpful advice.
Explore alternative solutions.
It seems that your mom may not be comfortable with you staying at her place. In this case, you might want to consider other options, such as renting a small room or reaching out to other family members or friends for support if finances are tight. While it’s unfortunate that your mom has left you alone in this situation, it’s crucial to focus on finding a solution.
Attempt a follow-up conversation.
Try initiating another discussion with your mom. There’s a chance that she may have been in a bad mood when she refused to let you stay. You could propose a casual meeting or walk together, avoiding the topic at first. Once she’s more at ease and the conversation flows naturally, gently bring up the possibility of staying with her again. She may be more receptive this time around.
Provide assurance to your mom.
She might be concerned that you’ll end up staying with her indefinitely, perceiving “looking for a job” as an excuse. Show her that you’re actively searching for opportunities to get your life back on track. If necessary, offer to pay a small rent for the room once you’re financially stable. This will help her understand that your stay isn’t permanent.
Remind her of your love and appreciation.
Unintentionally, you might have hurt her feelings without realizing it. Think back to any times she might have voiced concerns about your behavior or requested you to do specific things for her that you disregarded. Resolving any potential grudges can help strengthen your relationship. While there’s no guarantee that this will lead to a positive outcome, making an effort can lay the foundation for reconciliation.
