Hey, this sounds really confusing for you. I can definitely see why your friends are describing it as abusive. I wonder if at the moment it's too tricky for you to have it called that and it might be more helpful to reframe it for now as "my mother isn't a supportive influence in my life". Because it sounds like she's not a helpful person for you to be around and you could focus on that and aim to distance yourself from her without having to go too much into assigning blame for why your relationship isn't working out. I don't know if that makes sense.
Do you live with your mum/have much contact with her?
