Mother i think is confused and bi-polar

My mother and I seem to argue a couple times a week. I love her dearly but her mannerisms, attitude, personality, stubborness clashes with me. She dramatizes situations and turns my brothers and father to make it seem like I'm the bad guy. She tells me I need to grow up, mature, and stop being a kid, and seek professional help.

My whole life she has always had a negative attitude on things. When I was in college she didn't think I attended classes and thought I dropped out. I faxed her my transcripts on my own accord to show her I was a straight A student who never studied. She often tells me that I need to be careful at work despite getting positive feedback and awards through my mgmt. I'm a educated, professional who is cool, fun, and really nice but percieved differently by my mother. I could be the president of a company and still my mother will say I need to mature in life. I think no matter what we will never have a loving relationship. Anyone else have a simliar relationship or have good thoughts on this?

    My Mum is exactly the same. I've just given up to be honest. There's nothing i can seem to do. My Mother accuses me of stealing from her (clothes/money etc) and refuses to believe me even when i show her receipts and my payslips.
    I used to be so effected by this that i ACTUALLY dropped out of college to prove a point and to make her angry. But all it did was make my life harder.
    Focus on yourself, she may or may not realise in the future what she has done, just don't let her drag you down :)

    Yes... just tell her to quit worrying and that you can lead your own life.... no, seriously, tell her that. She's going to have to deal.

    Mother to daughter/son fights are normal. But try to talk and sort things out. Maybe it will get better! *Hope!!*

    My mum never says much. Even when I show her that I got straight A's or if I show her a piece of art I've done that I'm proud of she doesn't say anything, and even if she does, it's something negative, she always picks out the little negative things and jokes around making everything seem 10 times worse than it actually is. This really gets to me. >:(

    She's jealous like most of the human race. I have one of those mothers, too. She's not bipolar, just disgruntled with her life.

    She might be jealous of you. If her life is any less then yours she may be trying to put you down so that you can stoop to her level. But don't. It'd be ideal to have a good relationship with your mom... But if she's being that difficult just put her on the back burner. Lemme know how it goes.
