My mother is drama all the time TIPS.?
She was never like this until about 5 years ago. Now its always something wrong or some drama. I'm 19 and I moved with my grandparents and went to a college in Baltimore because I got sick of it and her crazy neighbors. She is a good woman but something is always wrong. Not that she isn't depressed she chooses not to be happy. She has to be upset all the time now. She needs to leave because she lives near crazy people and it seems though she likes being around people that use her.
I miss my mother I see her but ?

I can relate to you in some aspects. My grandma (my adopted mom) is the same way. She has been like that since my sister got pregnant with her first child in 2003 and I've had to suffer with it. Its really annoying and I had to move away too. When I turned 18, I left and haven't went back. We still talk, but I'd rather us be distant and share our love then close under each others butts hating one another for the other's actions.
There really isn't much you can do except try to stay positive & don't enable her drama. My grandma is very negative and really doesn't have many good things to say or do... And when she starts to cross the line that I've drawn I'll say "look Grammy, I don't wanna hear this ****, so take it somewhere else" and she either stops or I hang up and don't call her again for a few days. Its the only thing that works for us [ long distance loving relationship ]
Just try to handle yourself and your own life. Don't worry so much about her. Try to distance yourself from it until she gets the point that you aren't going to put up with it any longer. She'll either work on it or lose you slowly. You can't baby her and let her get away with it and let her know she's getting under your skin, if she knows that she'll keep doing it.

maybe your mother is lonely and needs to be needed by these "crazy" people . they might fill a void in her life .everyone has drama at times .but constant drama is really not that good for health reasons . tell your mother you care for her and that you know she is a good person and you don't like watching her being used by strangers . bad enough family members make life difficult , but neighbors??? this is not a healthy situation to live in ...it sounds to me like you criticise her a lot for her behavior and nagging is the worst thing . just show caring and understanding no criticism is necessary . she raised you ok...

Why won't you try and get close to her? Send her a flower bouquet ,
or at least just send her a really nice card. Go and eat dinner at a fancy restaurant,
or above all of that tell her that she's precious and expensive to you!
