Justin Bieber distanced from his mother

London: Singer Justin Bieber said his relationship with his mother is not going strong but they are trying to work on their bond.

The 21-year-old "Sorry" singer said his connection with Pattie Mallette, has declined in the last two years because she was 'disappointed' with his wild behaviour, reported Female First.

"I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust," he said.

The mother-son duo, are now trying to rebuild their relationship.

"She's living in Hawaii now, so it's hard, but getting better. She's an amazing woman and I love her," he said.

While Bieber has been estranged from his mother, he is meeting his dad regularly, Jeremy Bieber.

"There's a misconception that he's this deadbeat dad but I was with him on weekends and Wednesdays," he said.
