I’m 17 and my mom is 43
So today she wanted me to find a dress for her and I couldn’t find it like it’s no where and I have no idea what it looks like and when I ask what it looks like she just said “no just forget it I’ll just wear something else I guess “ and then she just start saying stuff like oh my kids can’t do nothing oh I can’t wait till they move out or I’m just going to leave and never come back or they can’t do shit for me but I can do stuff for them blah blah blah just keeps going on and she says as loud as she can and it’s like she wants me to cry and just worship her says stuff like “oh I’m sorry that I’m a idiot and can’t find something I don’t know what looks like” yea like that’s my fault.
I love my mother but it’s like she wants to bring me down.
My Mom will no stop complaining

Note: she always says she doesn’t want me to leave or your my favorite I would never do anything to hurt you it’s like she manipulating me
I highly recommend looking up books on narcissism and living with parents who are narcissists. I’m sure there’s a number of titles out there that cover this as it’s a fairly popular topic. Obviously you’re not going to go up to your mom and say hey. I believe you’re a narcissist and this is what I’m going to do about it. But reading a book on how to deal with people who are narcissists and how to manage a relationship with them and establish your boundaries and come out ahead is probably a good idea and no one needs to know you’re doing it.
