Hi, what can I do to increase my appetite so that I can gain weight and keep it on? I'm forcing myself to eat more which only makes my stomach hurt. Please help!

What kind of foods do you typically eat? Try for reaching more calories in less volume, aka calorie dense food. Peanut butter, juice, full fat dairy, avocados, oils, etc. You can also incorporate foods you may consider "unhealthy": ice cream, cookies, pizza, etc. if you need some extra calories for the day.
There is no unhealthy food; focus on hitting your macros and feel free to add in more nutrient dense foods in moderation so that you teat enough calories to get you to your goal.0 -
Will it be okay to still workout and drink muscle milk with my meals? When I workout I tend to eat more, but with school, work and being a mother it's hard getting the calories I need. The last time I ate anything and everything my stomach got fat. I'm too small to have a gut. I will take your advice and see what happens. Thanks0

If you can't get enough calories in and can't keep weight on, then reducing your exercise could be a solution. A better solution (personal opinion here) would be to focus on strength training with a progressive lifting program and try to build some muscle while eating in a surplus.
Here's a good example of a girl that didn't like what she looked like small and what she looked like after gaining muscle:

And from that site, this is what she looked like after putting on the muscle (she weighs 11lbs more on the right):
