I realize that much of my frustration directed toward her has to do with job search anxiety, the intense desire to leave home and become my own person, etc...
I learned from a radio therapist, Dr David Viscott about accurately identifying the thing or target for my anger, etc. It turns out that many of us angry people often shoot at an easier or safer target of our anger because we can't or won't aim our anger at the REAL source of it so maybe you are attacking your mother INSTEAD of the thing or person who truly deserves your anger.

how can I help the anger though?
The only thing that ever helped my anger was to carefully focus it on the thing or person I was angry with and confront them or write out my angry, hurt and sad feelings in journals so I was getting it out of my self and venting or discharging. There is a lot to doing anger work so get some books about it or see a counselor for suggestions. The main thing is to send your angry energy to the CORRECT TARGET and vent or discharge as best and safe as you can.
good luck,
