My mum has always seemed to have frequent mood swings when she only says one word answers to me. This has gotten worse recently so Im not sure how to deal with this. She always thinks she is in the right when she is wrong at times and is over critical with me. I have had counselling over this and it was mentioned I have low self esteem due to the fact I have a critical mother. I was told that my mums basically going to always be this way. It's quite draining.
