Ask Amy: Teen runaway faces silence at home
Dear Amy: A few weeks ago, I ran away from home because I couldn't get my way.
I wasn't gone the whole day.
When I came back my mom felt disrespected because of what I had done.
Since then, she hasn't talked to me because I never apologized.
She thinks that I should have apologized after the situation happened.
I understand this, and when I look back on what I did it was really dumb, but I wouldn't say I like talking about it.
I really don't want to continue our relationship as a family if there is no communication. Amy, will you please tell me what you think?
How can I make her talk to me again?
What should I do?
