What does your dad say about this? See if you can get to her through him. I'm a mom but I'm also very young. I clearly remember what it was like being a teenager. My mom was my best friend and if I didn't have her there I don't know what I would have done. My heart aches for you. I know how you feel because I'm going through the same thing with my husband. I do know what it's like to be a parent and if my child ever came to me and said that she didn't feel like she was important to me, that I loved WoW more than her, I would quit playing in a heart beat. Don't get mad at her and give her attitude about it. Tell her you're sad. That you don't have the relationship you used to because of it. I hope all works out...

Ahh. My mom started playing a while ago. I was 13 or somthing. Anyway, growing up hasn't been easy for me. I'm very insecure because I'm different. It's just frustrating when I come home from school and my mom is downstairs playing that game. She doesn't even come up to say hello. Or sometimes I try to talk to her while she's playing and she says Val sorry I can't talk right know I'm in the middle of a combat... I just get the feeling that the game is more important to her than me. To me, she's not my mom anymore. She's just someone living in my Dad's house. At times, I just want to take my tennis racket and smash it against that computer. It's hard for a teenage girl to have a game addict for a mom. I feel like I'm more mature than her. Sometimes when I'm lying in my bed at night, I think of the person she used to be before. Always there for me.
