When it comes to stuff like this, I'm a bit of a pessimist---I've learned you can't teach an old dog new tricks (pun certainly very welcome but not premeditated, I promise!).
Here you are trying over and over again to deal with her rationally and civilly but you can't win.
Either, she is going to always be like this. OR, at the very least, she wasn't going to get rational any time quick, so as admirable as your valiant attempts at reasoning and civil discussion with her, maybe it would be best to just walk away, cuz nothing was going to work.
How easy it is for me to say this to you--haha--cuz in this case, it's not MY mother. With my own mother, I am not so sane!!
There is the saying, "if it's not one thing, it's your mother".
Sorry you have to deal with this. To sum up...NO, you don't deserve to be yelled at.
