I Can't Stand My Mother

The Story

Hello and happy holidays to all! I didn't want to write such a story at this time of year, but it happened and I think it's better to get advice from a neutral party. I am a 20-year-old woman, living, studying and developing abroad, but I came home earlier this year in order to do something I had failed at. It's not fatal, but it was hard for me because I came home early and made a lot of effort and sacrifice. I will have the opportunity again, but things get a little more complicated, and I feel broken. That same day I came home crying and my mother was trying to cheer me up. She said that in the evening she kept an envelope for a restaurant with their friends and I was annoyed accordingly, because since I am not in the mood, the best medicine for me is home comfort and rest. She got very angry at my reluctance and started doing scenes, respectively to have peace and be happy she went. Yes, but one can force another to do something, but one cannot tell him how to feel. I was distanced all night and had a hard time finding the strength to smile. When we got home, my mother was angry that it didn't go as she expected, and my father and I started calling out how I could be angry about such things, given that everyone was healthy and I kept a little sad about their deaths. . Not only did these words not make me feel better, but it hurt me even more. Yes, it is true that it is not fatal and I dramatized more, but isn't it expected that someone's relatives support him at a difficult time Time is the only thing that helps, I can't force myself to be happy, I'm sad and these moments are part of everyone's life. I've always been very close to my mother, I told her we did things together, even when I thought it wasn't my fault, I apologized at my father's request "because your mother loves you very much." This time something in me broke, I tried to explain to her and asked her for space and not to overwhelm me with so much advice without wanting it, not to think that she knows better than me what will make me I feel good, and her reaction is always "okay, I'm not taking you anywhere anymore," "I'm not going to talk to you at all," which I think is a way to shift the blame on me. I refused to talk to her, but we have been very distant for some time and I don't look at her the same way and I better avoid her. Please tell, Is it my fault and what could be done to regain our good relationship and not feel so hurt and offended? Thanks in advance!
