My mom is crazy, and I can’t handle it anymore.

This is a throw-away account. It’s my first time in reddit.

I (F18) have been without my mother (F48) my whole life. My parents divorced when I was 3 and my mom was absent after that due to my parents hating each other and my mothers drug addiction. After my Father (M47) “disowned” me, and my boyfriend (M20) and I lost our housing because my dad got himself evicted, my mother offered for me to move in with her. She had just gotten out of prison for her drug addiction and I needed a place to go otherwise we were on the streets, I agreed. I thought maybe my mother would be easier to handle than my dad, that’s where I was very wrong. After we moved in I quickly found out that my mom was no different then the rest of my family. (they are all crazy, I have too many stories) Every small conversation somehow ends up in an argument, and she’s throws tantrums like a 12 year old when she doesn’t get her way or someone is telling her she’s in the wrong. She refuses to spend her money right with food and stuff like that, and instead gets food out of a dumpster. (Yes. She made me go with her.) Not only that she brings her drug addict friends around her children and the 3 year old that lives here, one of which I’ve watched kick his service dog really hard, and he abuses his girlfriend physically. I eventually snapped at her, I told her I can’t handle the stress of both of my parents being so immature and selfish. And that she needed to grow up and she was being a bad mom. Now she can’t even talk to me to my face. (I have text messages I can SS) Now shes saying I’m the ahole, and I don’t know “anything” about life. I love my mom but I can’t handle anymore of her stress. What do I do?
