Due to circumstances beyond my control I gave had to move in with my mother for a short period. Since I have been living with her she is not the mother I have pictured in my head. I gave her house money. But I gave noticed more increasingly she us not a particularly nice person. She spits venom when she looks and talks to me I feel like I am constantly walking in eggshells every minute of the day. I stay out of the house as much as possible but I feel maybe it's not enough. Rather than ask me to do something she will wait until something infuriates her then she will have a go at me. I dread walking through the door and have mostly withdrawn to my room just to keep out of the way. If I try and be reasonable and ask her the problem she just turns it I to something completely different. If I had anywhere else to go I would. She is aware of the other problems in my life but refuses to discuss those with me as she said she cannot deal with my problems there are times when I feel really low and withdrawn.

Its great your DM has let you come back to live with her.

Are you able to go away for weekend....then come back - and try a fresh start and be open with her " Mother I feel like I am really annoying you....is there anything we can do to help the situation whilst I am here....."

Is she used to living alone>? I cant see any other way round it, even if she is being V unreasonable and horrid, if you have to live there...maybe - puncture this bubble and dissapate some of the frustration. Cut through it.

All I can do is offer my sympathy. Perhaps things will get better over time

It sounds awful and even if she didn't really want you to come back home she doesn't have to be so rude.

Was she like this before you left home for the first time?

How soon can you get your own place?

Can you sit down with her and talk about how it's making you feel and what you can both do to make it bearable for each other until you get your own place again.
