> I completely understand! I had to live with my mother for a time and she is very controlling and has no comprehension of personal space. My best advice is to do whatever it takes to get out of there as soon as you can. Make it your #1 priority. Every day you have to endure her negativity will bring you down and make it that much harder to pull yourself out of your current situation.

Also, be sure to see a therapist if you aren't already. A T can help you keep things in perspective. Certain churches and other charities have counseling for low prices or free.
