For the most part, it's not because they're bad people, it's because they're human and have flaws like anyone else. Try and remember that your Mother still loves you in spite of all this. Ultimately, she just wants what she thinks is best for you.
I understand what you're saying and I truly do appreciate your help...but forgive me that I am less that sympathetic towards her. Bear in mind I know my mother in this context.
She was, and still is (at least as much as she can be) a very overbearing and controlling woman. Maybe not controlling in the "typical" way, but controlling none the less. For years she hammered in her thoughts, ideas, and other such in my head...tried to make me see I could live life only one way.
I'd say to an extent, she was/is abusive in a mental and emotional way.
Plus she seems to think I'm a tactless, imbecile child...in a way. At least. And can be very disrespectful to me.
Sure she loves me, but it's a double edged sword. It's poisonous too.
