Narcissistic Mother

I told my mother that I wanted to move out, but she has come up with every reason why I wouldn't be able to cope. I told her I wanted to lose weight, and she said I shouldn't because I'll get saggy skin 😒, yet everyday she calls me names making fun of my size. I could go on and on but the main issue now is that she favors me over my sister, and I feel like she resents me for this. When we were younger it was the other way round, but after I got really ill in 2016, she just switched.

She is never happy with anything we do, very controlling and everything seems to be "don't do this, what will other people think" I do tend to listen to her more, whereas my sister stands up to her.

She has plans for her future which don't include us, but we aren't allowed to have plans for ours. I feel like we are stuck 😔

Your mother sounds awful to you. You are 24, a grown adult. I would start planning to move out be it renting or buying a place if possible. I assume you pay rent and food at your mums house? Although her behaviour is not acceptable.

Once moved out I would go no contact or reduce contact to a minimum
