A:
It sounds like you're dealing with a very challenging situation. Setting boundaries is crucial in maintaining your mental and emotional health. You can start by having a firm and honest conversation with your mom about how her actions are affecting you. Explain the specific behaviors that are causing problems and express your need for space and respect.
Additionally, consider limiting your interactions to situations where you feel comfortable and in control. It's important to communicate clearly and consistently about your boundaries. If she continues to interfere, it may be necessary to reduce the frequency and duration of your contact with her.
Finding support from friends, support groups, or a counselor can also be very helpful. They can provide you with strategies to cope and reinforce your decision to protect your well-being. Remember, it's okay to prioritize your happiness and peace of mind.
