Mother got emotional and told me I had no consideration for her because I said I wanted to have dinner with a friend during my birthday. I actually said I didn't mind not going with the friend. She still shits on me. Am I in the wrong here?
Also, she makes me feel like I'm a shit son. Just because I don't call her for one day she will point it out as if I'm disappointing her. I'm in college, 21 year old. How to handle this? I've talked with her and she victimizes herself, complaining how inconsiderable I am. I understand that she is a widow, but I have a feeling she has no other hobbies other then her children. We are all adults and I'm the youngest.
Need some good advice to handle this or to calm myself down cause I feel like losing my shit.
Fuck, I'm the youngest too and most likely gonna be the last one to move out. I have no idea how my moms gonna handle it since she's like your mom where her only "hobby" or the only thing she does is think about her kids (she's a widow as well) I'm so fucking scared of this type of shit happening to me.

The fuck I'm 24 and don't talk to my mom or sisters for months on end and they don't get all hissy

Glad to know I'm not alone but sorry to hear that as well.
Probably since you're the youngest and in college, she feels like all her kids are going to move out. It's a good idea to understand where she's coming from, and she's not doing this to attack you. That being said, it's YOUR birthday. You get to decide what you want to do on your birthday, so don't feel guilty for wanting to go out with your friends.

the problem is that one of my sisters takes her side and I don't exactly want family drama. So I'll probably just cave in.

this is emotional manipulation, you need to tell her this isn't ok and that it can't continue
It seems pretty clear what the root of her behavior is given what you've said. It makes sense, so it's best to be understanding, and sure, make some sacrifices for her. But it also is something you should probably talk to her about and explain your side on. You shouldn't stand for or believe any blatant BS she says, cause her bias is so clear.
OP here.
I think I'll let this one slide and apologize. If she pushes the subject any further, I'll cut it from the root right off.

It's not grow a pair, It's a delicate situation and I want what's best for her. I'm not gonna shut her down. Besides, I just wanted some confirmation I wasn't wrong
