Hi Eric, Let me make one
thing perfectly clear: Your mother loves you.
When I was young. I have been trying so many methods to communicate
with my mother. But, eventually I fail. That's the reason, I have
the same feeling with you. I hate her so much. I have been argue
with her, fight with her, when she unreasonable scold me. Whatever
methods I have been try, she wont change her behavior. Therefore,
Eric dont ever try to change you mother altitude, just like
me.....I change my altitude.
About 7 years ago. I stop talking with my mother. Whenever she
scold me, I just ignored her. On that day, I forgot the day
. I decided not allowed, my mother unreasonable
feeling influence my good feeling every single day, every single
minute and every single second. Guess what's .....?. Of Course, I
Finally gain the respect from my mother. Even untill now, I wont
talk with her. Whatever I do, she wont suggest to me her stupid
opinions and never scold me anymore. But, she scold my pityful
father
.
Some time, some people.....born to scold 
Eric, wish you have a happy day all the time like me. Good
luck.
Dont try to contact me. Thanks.
