And I know it stinks. I also know how you feel. My mom is like that as well and talking to her doesn't help at all, instead it makes her even more upset. Unfortunately, I can't afford a dorm or an apartment (I'm a college student) so I have to stay home as well. I knwo it stinks, but I find the best way is just to let it go. If she screams, don't react. I also find that spending a lot of time at the library is helpful and productive. Headphones also do wonders and so do walks. If you feel upset just do something you love to do to calm yourself down. I know it's hard, but you can get through it if you try hard enough!
