Not really sure how Reddit works, but here goes.

For context my mum is working woman (specifically admin work) and she's a new mother (to my baby sibling). We are also converting our garage into a bedroom. I'm also going to work and college (soon). My mother is also bipolar.

So this is a long time coming, I love her, I really do, but I can't take this anymore.

She for one, acts like she is the ONLY one in the world with problems, and that SHE comes first in every situation. She is horrifically hypocritical. She talks bad about EVERYONE (yes, even the baby). She is really, really good at manipulating her way through things. She'll also ACT like she's the sweetest thing on earth. And that's just SOME of what she does.

Now I'm not going to say her life isn't stressful currently, having a baby and working is a hard job. But taking your anger out on everyone else?

Moving out isn't an option, because one: I don't have the money, and two: I by law CANNOT move out (atleast for now).

I'm also adding this while I can, I used to get bullied quite a bit in primary school. She was aware of this completely, yet, while with her friends, she'd sit there and gossip about the SAME things these bullies would tease me for while she thought I wasn't in earshot.

I know most people would suggest talking to her about this, which seems like a good idea on the outside. But really, she'd blow up and insult me to high hell.

I'm only posting this because frankly, I need to vent, and it's getting mentally draining as I have my own issues too, which she doesn't seem to understand (or care about).

Haven't really got anything else to add, so AITA?
