I feel like I don t matter, and tired of my 58 yr old mom nagging me every chance she gets. I m at my wit s end.?

How would you deal with this scenario? Between you and your mom, you each have income, but your mom has less, because she s working for crap wage, but you re the one who put $1250.00 down on renting a house, but your mom is still trying to control you. You get irritated, because you re 35, but don t have the heart to throw your mom out on the street, because she s disrespecting you as an adult, but yet, you pay the majority of the bills on the house. I m about to haul off and deck her, even though society views "hitting your parents is unheard of and we don t do that", I don t care if it s my mom or my next door neighbor. There is only so much negative, distressing, and annoying nagging that is constant that I can take, before I lose it. I am trying to keep my cool about things, but wow. I don t think I can much longer.

    treat her nicer. the more she treats you badly, the more you treat her nicer. let her feel loved. don't settle for paying bills etc. make her feel loved. love her more than she hates you. if this started only when you are earning more than her, maybe she feels bad about your difference in income. different persons may have different reactions to same situation. don't think about how much you put in for rent and bills, think of how you can make it sure she feels loved as your mother who brought you up and maybe guided you when you were a kid. at least for that sake, be patient with her.

    You are obligated to honor your mother, and my hat's off to you for your patience. Try to give her the silent treatment whenever she disrespects you. Ignore her completely. Even walk away. But then later, speaking softly, try to reason with her about the way she disrespects you, though it is you who support her.

    get a roommate. They will help with the rent and put peer pressure on her to stop acting a fool.

    Craigslist
