Can’t take it at home any more and I think mom needs help.

I’m 35 and should be living on my own but money wise I’m not too good. This is why I’m still living at home with my parents. But it’s been a nightmare. It wasn’t always like this. Before Covid I was working at Walmart part time but most of the time I was there 8hrs. That at least got me out of the house and away for a few hours a day. Things were going some what ok. Then Covid hit and I was fired and for one year I was at home and that’s when things got worse. I noticed mom would get mad more and yell more. Fast forward to 2021 I got a part time job at amazon and for me now that’s good. But now another issue has arise. Money.

It was always an issue but not like it is now. I give my mom money each month and on top of that she’ll finds way to get more. So that leaves me with hardly any. And when I bring this up it starts an argument. I even go to the point where I have to lie and tell my mom I don’t have money when I do. She’s always going on how she doesn’t have money for anything just bills yet she all of a sudden finds money to go shopping or order things online. When I order and get things sent to the house she goes off saying I thought you didn’t have money and why couldn’t you give me that money.

But not only money there are other things that trigger my mom. My dad’s family, if anytime any of his family comes over or calls she goes off. And because mom gets mad at dad she then takes it out on me. I have told her many times about this. She has assured me she does do that. But she has and does.

And another thing that triggers her is if she thinks you’re talking about her. You don’t even have to be looking at her or even in the same room. If mom thinks you’re talking about her she’ll go off.

I think mom needs help, it’s gotten worse. When she making jokes it’s ok when we do it she’ll go off. I think mom needs to talk to a psychiatrist To get to the root of the problem. But i don’t know if she’ll be ok with going to one. Because of all this I wanna really move out. I’ve decided to save all my money and hopefully this time next year can move out. Maybe when moving out mom will finally see all the yelling isn’t caused by me like she claims but by her.

I have no one to really talk to about this. I can’t talk to family because then it’ll get back to mom and she go off on me. I figured I will talk to you all about this.
