I love my mom. We've been through a lot and still are. I love her to bits and pieces. The only problem I have is, I think she does not like my fiance because he is unemployed. Well, he is unable to take care of our baby and myself. But I love him and think that somewhere down the line life will change for him and things will turn around for the better. He uses my car and this angers my mom so so much. I do not know what to do anymore.

Your mom loves you and she is worried about you and your baby. I'm sure she wants to feel that you have everything you need and she doesn't want your life to be a constant struggle. Your fiance is unemployed. Is he actively looking for work? What does he do with his time, since he is not working? Does he care for your baby and you go to work? If he doesn't work and doesn't do anything useful, all your mom is seeing is him "taking advantage" of you. He uses your car that I assume you pay for... does he have any money for gas? Do you pay all of his expenses? If you consider some of these points, it'll be much easier for you to understand why your mom gets upset. I would think if your fiance is doing his very best, trying to find a job, helping you as much as possible, etc., then your mom would respect him more... and it would be easy to explain those things to her and to show her the positives about him :)

Well, your mother is just looking after you. She's just concerned that you will not be having a great life with your fiance as what she had wanted for you. You fiance must work really hard to earn the trust and the approval of your mother.
