Matt,
It sounds really really difficult at home for you. You're right, we don't know exactly what it's like for you. But we can hear how you feel about it, and you express that pretty clearly.

You're in a very tough situation. I know that turning 18 doesn't magically give someone skills, resources, confidence, etc. that they may not have had the day before they became of age. About all that changes is your legal status.

I just had another thought about what might help your situation, and maybe you've already tried it. But I wonder if family therapy might help. Clearly your relationship with your mother is a source of stress. It's likely true for her, too. Maybe a good family therapist could help everyone to interact in a more calm and respectful manner and help all of you to learn alternatives for behavior when things escalate.

Just a thought.....

Thinking of you.
