I'm sorry you're going through this. I have some similar issues with my mother, but I feel too guilty to yell at her or always tell her the truth and how I feel. I don't want to make her cry (and she will if I tell her some of the things I think and how I feel), and I know she probably won't be around for much longer (she's 79), and even though when I was younger, I don't think I was bad or "wild" as she said, I know I won't change her opinion and just live with it.
Sorry, not trying to make my problem take over your thread, but I just mean to express a similar frustration with my own mother. She forgets a lot, gets grouchy and snaps at me when she's having trouble breathing (because she pushed herself to do more than she should have), snaps at me for other reasons, seems to think I'm stupid, expects me to ask my boyfriend (or sister, or someone who isn't me) what he/they think of whatever it is I plan to do (like going to college). And, of course, she doesn't really understand my OCD and panic disorder.
I hope you can get things straight with your mother and for her to be more reasonable. Let us know how things go.
