I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your mother blaming you for everything. It can be challenging to deal with constant criticism and feeling like you are responsible for things that are out of your control. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to remember that our thoughts and actions have consequences, but we cannot control the actions or thoughts of others. It's essential to recognize that your mother's behavior is a reflection of her own suffering, and it's not your fault.
From a psychological perspective, it's crucial to set boundaries with your mother and communicate your needs assertively. It's essential to recognize that you have the right to be treated with respect and kindness, regardless of your mother's behavior. If possible, try to have an open and honest conversation with your mother about how her behavior is affecting you and express your feelings in a non-confrontational way.
In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest focusing on self-care and self-compassion. It's essential to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being and take time to do things that bring you joy and relaxation. Practice self-compassion by acknowledging your feelings and treating yourself with kindness and understanding. It's also helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist who can help you navigate this challenging situation.
