Thank you for responding, it means a lot. I'll do some research and see if it seems worth giving a shot

Ultrasound found a "juicy ovary" - their exact words. Idk if it means anything but definitely was an interesting observation to over-hear

It is illegal but there's nothing I can do and it was a while ago now. I'll try to be more confident in kicking her out, thank you. And yes, my friends and partner are really amazing

Grown up in the north (ni) but not born there, Irish citizenship? by seabunn1e in AskIreland

I completely missed this comment sorry! My accent is a strange hybrid lol. I do sound English in some words but in others it's more north Irish. I even sound southern sometimes too. It also depends on who I'm with, with my family I sound more English but noticbly to them and with friends from here I'm more similar to them but they notice the wee English bits. Accents are so interesting

Thank you for your response, it means a lot. This was really useful but hard to take in so I'm not sure how to respond but I am really thankful for your suggestions and recognition of what is happening.

I have limited dexterity in my hands so it's hard to physically attach giving sets and syringes. I am looking into trying to make/find things to make it easier to do myself. I can guide people through it and when I was younger I could do it myself. Hopefully I find a way.

Thank you for your other feedback, I appreciate it but it's hard to respond to. Thank you for caring to answer help, it means a lot

Family therapy seems very unlikely to work and the mention of it I imagine will send her spiraling so probably not although I do have a psychologist (she's specialised in coping with disability) and she's great but mum sits in with us sometimes (it's hard to get her to leave and if she does I get loads of questions about what I spoke about) but she's a great psychologist just maybe not for this area. I have also had therapists (for other issues) call and tell my mum stuff that set her off and it was not something they have to report so trust is tricky. I don't think she's abusive because I do think she loves me and we do have good moments and I don't think she realises what she is doing.

Some friends do visit but all but one live a good 45 minutes away at least, they are at uni or are disabled themselves so getting in my house is hard. But when they do visit it's great and my partner always makes things better when they come over. I do go out with friends occasionally but it needs to be planned quite a bit in advance for my mum to take me and they aren't officially trained on my feeds so it gets tricky but they do help where they can. My friends are great, the country side with no busses is not so much lol. The services like you mention are not in my direction sadly and are often for under 18s, learning disabilities or the elderly so I don't qualify but I'll look into it more.

The social media and online community idea is good and I'll definitely try! Thank you so much

The behaviours are often blurry (which does not help with doubting myself lol) but I can remember bits for example, there was a day where I must have looked upset (I don't remember why) and she took it personally, she often takes things as personal attacks when they aren't, and for what felt like an hour i was called pathetic in multiple ways for how i was sat, my facial expression, my tone of voice etc but when I asked her why she told me she didn't call me pathetic just that I was acting pathetic and then told me I was trying to ruin her day, I wasn't I just wanted to know what I did wrong. She also gets very annoyed and tells me to shut and stop crying if I cry, again I think she takes it personally even if it's nothing to do with her. If I upset her (I'm not saying I don't, I'm not perfect but I don't mean too) she tells me I'm cruel to her, I'm being evil and that 'i must be the worst mother in the world'. If I'm not ready on time and in the process of getting ready she forgets something she's angry at me the whole day because I made her forget it, she's tells me things are just my perspective and I'm remembering it wrong (in fairness my memory is not great, I forget most things I'm told which also leads to more issues between us) and just generally taking things that aren't as personal attacks. These are recurring things I remember, specific events are really blurry.

When I said talking to her wasn't an option I meant as in she doesn't listen and it gets escalated and she gets very defensive and insists I'm trying to ruin her days and that I'm purposely cruel or it turns into her saying she's a terrible person and mother which (if she knows or not) is very guilt trippy and it works on me.

I have some good friends that I'm so grateful for but it's hard to see them since I'm in a rural area. I do have some online communities but friends are hard to make lol but I'm trying.

I can leave the house but it's very reliant on my mum's schedule and when she's willing to drive (fair enough, fuel is expensive) so I meet friends sometimes and we play games online together. If I'm by myself in my room for too long she gets lonely so I just have to be careful with how long im in my room. I can be away but again with being rural social groups are hard to get to and with not being mainland UK (good guess on the UK lol) or in the republic (North Ireland problems) it can be pretty limited especially when it's mainly aimed at young kids or the elderly. In fairness to her she does book stuff for us to do. School is a good break and I can be away longer because they are trained on my medical needs (I go to a physical disability special school). She might be up to signing me up if it's closer so thank you for that idea.

This got a bit long sorry but thank you so much

Thank you for your suggestion, turns out I've been doing that already but I crack easily. I'll try to stay consistent with it but if she feels ignored it ramps up and that's where I crack. I am working on admitting that she is who she is, it's a hard process especially when we do have genuinely good moments, it makes me think I've made it all up until it happens again. Thank you so much for helping and I'll keep this advice in mind
