It is almost impossible to have a conversation with my mother! She is completely and utterly impossible! It doesn’t matter what we are talking about she is upset easily. She walks out, hangs up, interrupts and just has no care in the world about your opinion. No its not menopause cause she’s been like this for my entire life. She holds grudges FOREVER so when you apologize for doing something, and it doesn’t matter how minuscule it is, she just acts like a teenager having an outburst.
I choose a college all the way on the other side of the US just to get away from her and I miss her when I’m gone but when I come back it reminds me all over again why I left!
Obviously, this has affected my relationship with her, my feelings toward her. I just don’t know what to do.
Help.

You should write her a letter while you are away at college. The letter could explain how you feel about her behavior and how she makes you feel. There will be no interruptions, or disputes ... just your feelings written out in ink.
Some mothers do that. You can try everything out there like therapy and "quality time" but really if your personalities don't clash thats the end. You don't have to talk to her regularly if you don't want. Do what you feel is right.
