Grr I know what you mean. I hate things like that! *hugs* Well, good on you for holding back what you could've easily said just to have some kind of control over the situation.
Vent all you like. This is the ranting section after all ;D Punching bag is right over that way! lol

Have you tried talking to her about this when you've both had the chance to calm down? I do know that even then, though...some people you just can't get through. I know my mom can be quite stubborn, thinking she's right in everything...even when she's not. Annoying. One great thing about living away.

Thanks for the hug zerosum *hugs* @ Strawberry, yeah I have even when we're both calm she's impossible. Our mind sets clash on this. It feels like we never get anywhere anymore. Ah well... maybe this is just nature's way of saying it's time to move out soon...lol.

i relate to what you say i have a mum who is very critical yet very defensive. she take things i say out of context and sometimes thinks i'm implying things when I'm not. It gets quite difficult living at home at times. I try to just hold on to the idea that oh wel at least she cares...

I have a dad like that, and a mum like that except she doesn't yell, she does emotional blackmail instead. Any wonder I'm a liiiitttle f*cked up? lol

Much like providing smilies when needed. Parents are difficult as you get older. You'd think it gets easier but no, not at all. My own father and I used to get hyper nervous and angry at each other all the time. Until finally we both started taking anxiety medication. I stopped taking mine after a couple of years, but he still takes his and it's helped a lot. Anyway, I know what you mean. Parents are difficult to deal with, especiialy moms and daughters. Or so I'm told.

I know how you feel. My mom always blows up over the least little thing. Even when it seems like she's in a good mood, if I try to talk to her about anything -- like something on the news or whatever -- somehow within 5 minutes she manages to turn the subject into something she can start bitching at me about and blaming me for, or she starts going on and on about her opinion and acts like I have no idea what I'm talking about because I'm "too young to understand or know any better" (I'm 27). The other day she seemed calm and everything, then there was one tiny little misunderstanding and suddenly she's acting like there was this huge conspiracy against her and she started yelling and cussing and calling me stupid, and then started taking it out on one of my cats by spraying him with water even though he was outside and it was just about freezing. She pisses me off so much, it's a miracle we haven't gotten into a physical fight yet. What makes it suck even worse is that since I barely have any friends, and the few I do have I very rarely get to talk to, it'd be nice if I'd at least be able to my mom since she lives with me and is always around, but I can't even do that.
