I can sympathise with you on the "you should love your parents" saying... I've heard it so many times it's starting to sound like a broken record. I got enough mom issues to know that I don't love her and haven't since I was 9-10 and with my dad... well, you've read my LJ. I bet you've been asked this a hundred times but have you confronted your mom about this? It sounds a little irresponsible for her to take off without telling you or leaving a note... I don't know if you're allowed to do that or not, but normally we kids have to tell or leave a note when we leave the house so shouldn't your mom be trying to set an example? Hope you're feeling a little better by the time you read this, sometimes getting out of the house and getting time to breathe and think helps. *hugs*
