My mom is all i have, she went above an beyond to put me through college on her own, she has always been supportive, and most of my life i've considered myself to be a good daughter, and althought there's been bumps in the road we've had a fairly good relatonship.

But lately (in the last a year or so) i've screwed up a lot. I became depressed after losing my job and eventually lost confidence and motivation for life in general and I started treating my mom with indifference even when she hadn't done anything to deserve it. I didn't realize this until we got in an argument and she told me how I've been treating her, that she doesn't know who I am only that I am her daughter and a stranger at the same time. And that I've been treating her like this for a long time.

She got very angry at me and I completely understand that because I know it wasn't fair to her for me to treat her this way, I don't know why I was taking thing out on her. I love my mother and I appreciate with all my heart everything she's done for me, and I don't know why I was acting that way towards her.

I've apologized several times to her and told her i want to change, that i'm sorry and i regret fully what i've become. But every time I do it feels like it gets worse and she wont respond to me at all.

She has a strong personality and she's a very proud person that sticks to her guns and doesn't back down. So she doesn't talk to me anymore at all. We live together and she ignores me if i tell her anything, whether is a question or statement or just asking her if she wants to have lunch with me. And it seems like she gets more upset if I speak to her, even if she doesn't say anything. She locks herself in her room and doesn't tell me where she's going if she leaves the apartment.

I don't know what to do, i feel so depressed and so sad that I made her feel like I don't care about her. Like I said I don't know what made me treat her that way, but looking back now I can see the wrong that i did. I miss her so much please give me some advice. How do i make things better?
