It's probably one of the hardest things to grasp and I do feel for you. But I think you have little choice now, sorry to be blunt. If your mum comes back, fine, but do you really thing that the best way to live your life is to stop living and put everything on hold, just waiting for your mum to do something she may never do?
You really do need to get some help, get yourself off to the doc as soon as you can as I am concerned you're heading for a serious breakdown. Please get things back on track and concentrate on the little baby coming along. That little thing should be the most important thing on your mind right now and please stop letting your mum take its place. He/she will be a lot more vulnerable and need you a lot more than your mum - and should be a happy time too. Please do not let her behaviour spoil that also.

Thanks for your responses. I agree that I won't let her spoil the good in my life. I will not allow her behavior to take over my life anymore. It's just hard that its my own mother and that I thought she could never do this to me. Maybe she was being fake with me and my husband for so long that she exploded. Every week her mood changed. One week she would say things like oh your husband is so wonderful, then the next she would be like your father and I don't like how he speaks to us. When I wouldn't respond she would say things like oh you became so weird ever since I mentioned that about your husband. I would sit there and calm myself down before I would leave so I wouldn't leave mad.
I'm just upset that she controlled me for so long. I'm learning from it, and I am doing better.
