How can I cope with my mother?

She's crazy. Crazy, I swear... Ok, just today, she wants help with her new phone. She got one exactly like mine -_- Oi... So anyway, I'm trying to help her with what she wants help with, her voice-mail greeting. We did it wrong twice. I don't change mine a lot, so I don't know it by heart. But I start to get annoyed, and she SCREAMS...

"AYLA, YOU'RE TREATING ME LIKE ****, AND I WON'T HAVE IT!" Dare I talk back, defend myself and my dignity? Nope! So we try once more, and we press the wrong thing, and I get that "attitude" where I sigh heavily (LIKE ALL TEENAGERS DO) in annoyance. Then she's all pissed off 'cause she can't figure out how to do it. She does this to everyone. She can't figure out a damn thing for herself, she has to have someone else teach her. She's either stupid or just plain lazy. Then again, she did have a minor head injury in the past, and my family who knows a lot about it said that she was never the same afterward... -_- I just don't know how to cope with this... 15 years of being screamed at at the most random times, then "bought" back, it's so confusing! And my friends call me spoiled 'cause I have a lot of nice things from her, yet I hate her... Sometimes... AARGH! See?! I dont know wether I love her or hate her. Well, I love her 'cause she's my mom...... O.O My god, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

    My mom is the exact same way. But she was much worse. I'm not going to go into detail about my story. Anyway, she's emotionally draining, and I understand WHY you're frustrated. Every time you turn around, you're being disrespectful; you have to do everything for her because she's too dumb to do it herself, and in the end, you're the "stupid" one. Your friends don't see what the problem is...you have all these nice things. Why are you complaining? I understand exactly what you're going through. It's not going to get better. I encourage you to talk to your guidance counselor about this. They can help you figure out what to do. All in all, your mother does love you, she's just showing it differently...hope this helps:)
