What happens if my mom tells me that I cannot go to confession when I have a mortal sin on my soul? Will I go to hell?
 
You are oing to far, with the comparaison with witchcraft.

If a have obey my mom, I had never go to mass as a teen. I had never go to youth catholics groups, I had never read catholics books, I would have never made my preparation to the sacrament of confirmation.

So, If I could myself, i just do myself, or my father transport me.

I would have to life as an atheist my teenage years If I had obey my mother.

It would have been a nightmare.
 
Many priests will have confession before Mass. Just go early and talk with him.
 
I don’t think it’s compatible to whichcraf… Yes, we are supposed to obey our parents but if what they ask will lead to a mortal sin then I think it is ok to say no.(this is going on how old you are too).
 
If you want to go but your parents forbid you, you’re fine. You have the desire to go, but someone (and someone who is supposed to be looking out for your spiritual wellbeing) is preventing you from doing so.

Hopefully this was a one time thing and she doesn’t make a habit of this. There would be no sin on your part, but she could be held accountable for it at her judgement if it was unreasonable for her to deny you.
 
I’m all cases, except if they command you to do something sinful. In that case, you’re bound to disobey.
 
From the forum rules:

Do not give advice to a minor that opposes the instruction of a parent or legal guardian. All such discussions should be directed to the proper authorities: parents, guardians, therapists, parish priests, or primary care providers.
 
So to conform forum rules, you will have your answer: obey your parents. We are not allowed to give more advises here.
 
I don’t think you are obligated to obey your superiors or parents when it goes against the Church and going to Confession in a state of mortal sin is very important.
 
Try asking your mom why she doesn’t allow you to go for confession, and explain to her the reason why you need to.

Do you both get along well?

Personally, I have a similar experience. But I insisted, and my parents gave in eventually.

First off, how old are you? If you’re under age (child, pre-teen, teen), then you must obey your parents as long as you’re living under their roof. If you’re 18 or 21, whichever one recognizes you as an adult in the State you live in, then you are able to make your own decisions.
 
I don’t argue that kids are called to obedience, but at the same time, parents are held accountable by the supreme judge for their childrens spiritual upbringing.
 
Try to make an act of perfect contrition, pray, and go to confession as soon as you are able to.

For starters perhaps silently recite this prayer and mean it:
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against You whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for our sins.
In His name, my God, have mercy. Amen.

18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son,
which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother,
and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him,
and bring him out unto the elders of his city,
and unto the gate of his place;

20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city,
This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice;
he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die:
so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

1 Samuel 15:23
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee … etc
 
Make an act of perfect contrition. Get to confession as soon as you’re able (even if without your mother’s knowledge). Obviously, those who think obedience extends to not receiving the sacraments which are normatively required for salvation are ignorant and lack understanding of basic moral theology.
 
Didn’t you post something somewhat controversial when you first joined.
 
I was on the board for years before I ever posted. I’m just saying that, often, someone joins and immediately posts something that stirs controversy, and then disappears.

We don’t know if the poster is a minor. Or Catholic . I’m just innately cynical, I guess.
