I'm not sure if this is off topic, but I need advice on a topic and Yahoo Answers is not being very helpful.
For the past year my mum has been shouting and cursing at me when I don't do something right or she's just in a bad mood. When I was putting a T-Shirt in a charity bin, she shouted at me "Do you think ****ing I'm made of money!? You're so difficult!" and it felt like she was about to hit me. She recently has been doing this and making me feel terrible about myself, and whenever she does it I always end up in tears after she goes away. She is very intimidating and sometimes grabs onto me when she is shouting in my face. I've been trying to stand up to her but I never have the courage, and I haven't told anyone in real life, and mum isn't as bad to my sisters so they don't care.
What should I do?

I'm sorry to ask, but are your parents divorced? If yes, did they recently divorce? Has your mother been having a hard time in her workplace? Did someone close die recently? These are all factors that may result in this behaviour and I know from experience that sometimes (for longer periods of time) people take out their inner stress and feelings on other people and they don't mean it at that time, but when they recover from whatever is ailing they'll regret what they did.
I'm sure your mother is just having a hard time and is taking out her anger on you.
Was your mother always like this or do you remember her being a loving and caring person?
