i moved home when my company closed and i also had insomnia. i wasn't getting along well with my mom - who cannot get along with anyone (she has no friends or contact with her family). she told me i had to go to a 'state facility' for my 'drug addiction' -for taking the Ambien my doctor gave me to sleep. i can't forget this -especially because she's still always mean to me and will never feel badly about what she did. WWYD? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

you're not going to like my reply... forget it, and move on. seriously, you are me 5 years ago, and my mother was HORRIBLE to me and pushed my buttons and was incredibly mean and had no friends etc etc... At the end of the day, you cannot control anyone but yourself, and it's a lot more fun to have fun. set your boundaries. don't talk to her if she disrespects you. tell her when you will talk to her again, etc. but really... let it go and get a life for yourself [ Reply | More

NR: I agree with above but two both of you - you moved home. You have to expect being treated like a child when you act that way. [ Reply | More

op: i lost my job and had insomnia. being treated like a child is fine but threatened with being "put in the jail system" is not how a parent 'treats a child.' [ Reply | More

you need another option than staying with your mom. SHE can't handle it and can't say so, so she's taken you in and is taking her anger out on you. [ Reply | More

I didn't move home (sorry, I missed that part of your post) but yes, she was bad to me... freaked out at my wedding and stopped talking to me for 5 months afterwards... and now, we get along well, but it's not because "she is nice to me" it's because I've decided to have a relationship with her. When she starts to get nasty, I immediately withdraw and don't talk to her for a week... If she's nice after the week, we talk again, if not, I give it another week. [ Reply | More

I would protect myself from her (she won't change) and have minimal contact with her, perhaps only at birthdays and other holidays. You will feel better when she is mostly out of your life. [ Reply | More
