Sorry, but I just needed somplace to vent!!!
My mother and I have almost always hated each other... or at least had a love- hate relationship. One minute she'll be buying me things the next she and I cant stand each other. When I was younger, I actually ran away from home for a little while.
Anyways, I went away to school in the fall, but it wasn't where I wanted to be, so I transferred to a college closer to home. Since I've been living at home, I havent been able to dance b/c of living with my mother, and for the first couple of months it went okay...
But all of a sudden she went away for a long weekend and came back thinking I'm satan! She has this theory that I have some huge secret problem that takes over my personality (lets keep in mind that she's the one on Prozac). She claims that "I have a problem again like I used to."
A few things to mention... I've been sick lately (switching birth control was a bad idea), just broke up with my bf a month ago, and we're now starting to talk about things, and have been having a hard time at my job b/c it eats all of the money I make (riding horses)>
So yes, I have a few problems, but she knows about them, and they were all there before she went away, so all of a sudden she's convinced I've had this tremendous personality shift in those 4 days.
One minute she loves living with me, the next she wants me to leave.
I would love more than anything to leave, but there's that issue of money stopping me... I just dont have it right now, and as long as I'm living here, there's no way I'm able to dance.
Anyways, thanks for letting me bitch!

Keep a look out for her mood because she may be off her meds or not have the right meds for her condition. I find my mother is the most impossible when she's feeling out of emotional control. You might even do quiet research into dance or other well paying jobs you can start at a moment's notice if she becomes too combative.

not to make a diagnosis on line but:
These behaviors and fast turn-arounds might be due to the fact that she is manic-depressive rather than just depressed. Prozac is good for depression, but once she flips, she really flips.
Is she seeing a good shrink, or just a psychopharmacologist?
(wow--now there's a long word!)
