Hmm... tricky! Maybe see this as an opportunity to practise keeping your cool a bit more. It's something that really matters to you, so perhaps you'll actually surprise yourself. Maybe you could even be honest and say at the start - "I think we need to have a talk and I will try to keep my cool but you know how I find that hard to do." Then you've been honest and hopefully your mum will respect you for it. I don't think you can exactly plan how the talk will go but rather just see how it goes and try your best to keep calm. If you've tried your best, then you can say to yourself that you tried. If it gets too heated, perhaps be the one to say - "I'm sorry but we need to cool off for a bit" and walk away. Even if it's just for twenty minutes. It must seem scary but approaching the issue/s is more productive than burying your head in the sand. I think the sooner you attempt to talk, the better. You probably won't discuss everything at once but a start would be positive. Even if it ends in a row, at least you will have 'broken the ice' in a way?
Can I fix my issues with my mom? IIN?
