Give your mom space. Lay low. Don’t engage. There does come a time when we must stand up to our parents and not allow their moods/treatment towards us/behavior affect us to such a degree bc parents can be crazy too (I say this in the fondest way). Just maintain your sense of self and hang in there. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I have 5 sisters and one brother and I’m the middle child. Not fun at all. But when my parents knew I was no longer asking for permission, like my divorce from first husband, first of 3 divorces in a very Catholic family. I told them after the fact, like when my divorce was final. Something like that. Harder to do when you live with them which is the trend in this economic mess of a country we’re in. Hang in there. Journal, it will help and is actually very therapeutic. 💖
You’re very welcome. I wish you the best. My son’s girlfriend is in a similar position (kind of) and yes, it’s been rough.

I would be miserable too. I need peace and quiet to thrive. I've had to stay in hectic noisy households or shelters before when I didn't have anywhere else to go and was so miserable. I chose to live in a tent in the woods because it was better for my mental health which is paramount. I agree with another commenter to try not to engage and keep to yourself as much as possible. Not always easy I realize. Good luck to you. I am here if you ever want to chat.

Is there any way you could move out or get a roommate? Sorry you're dealing with this.
