Anyway, she's not the problem.
I think it's my abusive ex. It's my mom's recent behavior. It's a lot like my ex's. Except with my ex, yelling and throwing stuff was just the beginning of an awful drawn out emotional and mental beating.

Hi Lbien,
It's a tough situation for you to be in, and I'm glad you found this community. Thank you for sharing with us. There's a lot of support and caring here.
Just a thought, but were you able to get any type of counseling after the breakup of the abusive relationship? It can help tremendously while you work through the affects of it...it's never too late to get guidance about it.
My daughter is staying with me while she gets back on her feet after leaving a domestic violence situation. She's seeing a counselor and has benefited from it.
The counseling has also helped her understand the dynamics of a grown child moving back in with a parent.
I've never attended a session with her, but we have had several talks about different things. As time goes on, the "topics" change obviously.
It's not always easy and we have had our problems.
Please continue to post and let us know how you are doing,
Cap
