I’m 15 m. For around 3 years, my mother has been starting to act more irritable and temperamental. Little things have turned into large screaming matches. Although she shouldn’t have to be reminding me, she will freak out if I forget to take my dishes to the sink or throw away a wrapper on a table. We’re currently on a vacation with my grandparents and it seems like she’s more stressed on vacation than on a normal day. Today she blew up on me in front of my grandparents which left me feeling betrayed and incredibly sad. This hostility has been putting unnecessary stress in my life which has had adverse mental health effects. I’ve made 3 suicide attempts in the last 12 months. My dad has been very supportive and I feel very comfortable around him. We do everything together. Unfortunately he can’t do much about the situation because he’s subjected to the same treatment. We vent to each other regularly about our frustration living with her. I try my very best to keep my composure, speak in a calm voice, and not interrupt her while she is talking to be as respectful as possible. I even apologize profusely and actively try to improve myself but it doesn’t seem to help. Can anyone think of ideas that would de escalate the tensions with me and my mother?
