text: help!! my mother is bad ,what should i do?i am 22 but she's treating me like a5 yrs.old kid!?   see her less often, maybe an afternoon once a month. and when you do, be patient with her and always treat her nice no matter how bad she gets. after all, it's only a few minutes of your life, right?  thing is, most mothers behave like this, no matter how old you get. you'll always be her child, and that's what she sees when she looks at you so don't be too pis*ed about that.
