I don't think your mothers reactions indicate a lack of respect for you. They indicate either depression or some other form of mental illness. She definitely needs to be seen by a therapist and evaluated. But I know at this point, she's probably not going to be open to this. But please do not take this personally -- she doesn't disrespect you ~ she has a mental illness.
Anyone who is consistently morose, unkind, moody has something wrong. And obviously your Father and sister are either afraid of contradicting her or just don't want to start anything, so they agree with her. It's not right, but they've undoubtedly been the brunt of her anger for a long time.
Since these visits make you so uncomfortable and miserable, don't go often. Spread your wings and make new friends. Don't be so dependent on them for your social outlet. There are plenty of ways to make friends -- malls, librarys, coffee shops, singles clubs, etc. Have some fun! And God bless! Hugs, Lee
