I apologize that you took offense at my suggestions, I did not mean to upset you.
It's just that all we have are your interpretations of situations we know nothing about, and for all I know, you hadn't tried any of these things.
I know what it means to be manipulated and controlled.
You did not answer my question, however, are you still living at home with her? You are 25, certainly at an age where you can leave home and be on your own. You may consider doing that, and seriously pray how best to save your relationship with your mother.
Is your mother saved? If not, please understand that Christians cannot expect unsaved people to act like Christians. Half the time Christians don't act like Christians. If your mother professes to have the faith, understand that we are all 'works in progress'. What was her childhood like? Did her mother treat her that way? She may have reasons from her past that make it perfectly acceptable (to her) to treat you in this manner.
If your church has a biblical counselor, please make an appointment with them, or your pastor, to help you sort your feelings out so that you do not become bitter towards her.
Again, I'm sorry.
Remember that God thinks you're worth it!
