Sounds like your mom is caught up too much in her own problems to take yours into consideration. My daughter felt I was the same way. Because my life was out of control and even as an adult I didn't have a big support system to turn to. I've had to deal with a lot of stuff on my own. As a teenage girl, your feelings are just as valid.Sometimes we as parents seriously misjudge our kids and think they are worse than they really are. I have been where you are as a teen, I hated being a teenager because listening was not what my grandmother did,without criticising everything I did. And wanting to take myself out the equation was done on more than one occasion. You are not alone. Being a teen is hard enough without our parents dumping on us. But in the end, what it boils down to is, eventually you will not have to live with her. So, find yourself; with something you like to do, say art, music, sports, and practice it till you are excellent at it. Then think about what you want to accomplish with your life. Get a mentor, someone that inspires you, they will help you achieve what you want by giving you a positive push in the right direction. That person will also listen to you. Childhood, teenage years are only a portion of your life, if they aren't your best years,keep this in mind, you do have alot of good years ahead of you. make the most of them, and be around positive people. You will be happier in your life in the long run.
