Corsaire,
Have you sought help from a mental health professional?
(no this is not a joke) If not, I would strongly recommend doing so. For both you and your mother. A licensed therapist can help you both deal with the issues you are facing. You don't have to face them alone. Reach out for the help you need and get better soon.
Regards,
Bob
