Drifting Apart

Tweet

Over the past few years, I have found it more and more difficult to trust my mother. She is one that talks a lot and spreads information like water flowing from a sink faucet, and she is the type of person that doesn't take to heart secrecy or even confidentiality. That says a lot when I as her daughter am saying this. I had thought that it was just a phase, and things would go back to normal. But the arguments are becoming more frequent, and the stress is building up. I feel as if I am an argument away from saying something that I might regret. The issue for me is that I have no place to go if it comes down to me being kicked out. Not to mention that once I leave, she works to basically exile me from the family. That means cutting off all connections with family on her side, such as my sisters and even nieces. I don't know what to do. Suggestions?
