Two days of not living with mother was a great feeling.  Having freedom is such a great feeling.  I can not stand living with a person who controls my life, a person who constantly belittles and constantly nags.  I can feel my body tensing up every time she has something negative to say.  Today, she complained how it was not her fault for gnats in the kitchen especially since she was not home for two days.  Granted that may be true but the kitchen has a lot of moldy, rotten foods in the refrigerator, table, counter, floor.  Living with her is a toxic environment.  I hate how she constantly badgers, nags, and belittles.
