My mum. She blows so hot and cold with me and I don't know how to handle it. I just want a normal relationship, to have her there to chat to etc.

She will either be all in and ring me a million times a day (and then will be in a mood if I can't answer)

Or she will and I quote say "I am out of bounds for a week" and will not speak to me. If I need to contact her, she will ignore me or reply "ok". If I said to her to not contact me for a week there would be world war three.

She said last week she would meet me for lunch today at work. I need to plan meetings around this. I ask if she is still coming and she says "will let you know". I said I need to know for work and she said "you'd think we haven't spoken for years the way you're desperate to see me"

I can't keep up!!!!!!

Treat her how she's treating you, and absolutely tell her you're out of bounds for 2 weeks.

Sadly it doesn’t look like she can give you the relationship you want. See her when she’s available if you want but seek your support elsewhere. Sorry OP
