[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sees wasted potential and feels disappointed because you haven't done much to use it. Her expressions may seem sarcastic but probably rooted in fear of future. You need to do more and analyze less. Once you have your act together, seek therapy to sort your emotional life and parental relationship. [/quote]

NP. Please don't excuse abusive behavior. OP's mom may have anxieties about her or she may have a personality disorder, but she should not treat her daughter this way.

OP, move out. You feel infantilized and parentafized at the same time while living under her roof. She belittles you, and tells you you're indispensable to her emotional well being. You may never really find out what her mental issues are, but you owe it to yourself to take control of your own life. You have agency. Use it.

My mom was also extremely controlling and at the same time emotionally reliant on me. As soon as I found a job after college I moved out. My confidence soared. I took risks and thrived. None of it would be possible if I continued to live at home. [/quote]
