  • I know it doesn't help, but what you describe if pretty normal. It's a highly unusual to see a family where kids live in blissful harmony with their parents from the moment their born until the day death separates them. But I'm sure you're already aware of that.

    As others have said, you state the solution in your OP. Clearly, you need to put some distance - physical and emotional - between yourself and your parents. Maybe you'll find your mother's company more enjoyable when you don't have to spend so much time with her. It's also possible that a little perspective and more maturity and experience of the world will allow you to see clearly that she really is a pain in the butt. Some people are, and there's no cosmic law that means having a child turns a flawed human being into a saint.

    • It depends on the culture. I'm American and we are expected to separate as young adults.

      My husband's culture expects you to stay with your parents even after marriage. His brothers and their wives get along fine with his parents.

      OP's mom (unfortunately) might just be an irritating person in general. Bless her heart.
