Stuck living with my parents, can’t take it anymore.
My mother is extremely manipulative and takes anything I say, even positive things, and does whatever she can to twist the words and turn it into an argument. She also loves to take my things that I, an adult, paid for myself to make me feel worse and if I even try to stop her, she threatens to kick me out onto the streets. Every time I try to have a conversation with her, she shuts it down the second any kind of blame is placed on her but when the conversation is overwhelming me and I need a break, she pushes into my room and won’t leave nor give me space. She also constantly says that other people see I’m the issue and tries to make me feel terrible, but anyone who has ever seen her true behavior will tell me that I’m not the problem. The people she is saying see me as the issue, are the ones who see only the fake version of her, the act she puts on when others are around. The reason I still live with my parents is because I’m extremely chronically ill at the moment and I’m far too sick to even leave the house. I truly can’t take the emotional abuse and manipulation anymore. It’s making me feel crazy. She is ruining me mentally. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Thoughts/Suggestions?
