Sorry to hear you are having problems with your relationship with your mum.
Rest assured that yours is not an uncommon story and I know of many people who may be confident, happy and fulfilled in other areas of their life and yet struggle with their relationship with at least one family member.
The reason for this is that when we are back with family members we often revert to childhood roles and if there were challenges at a young age it can create difficult feelings which repeat each time we put ourselves back in that situation.
Unfortunately we cannot change the person who challenges us but we can work on our own reactions to this person.
Generally this means finding a safe person, such as a qualified counsellor, therapist (http://www.bacp.co.uk) or even life coach (http://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk) to talk to and thus vent and release any pent up emotion.
You could also try confidence essence in the meantime when you speak to or visit your mum as it can help with emotional challenges when experiences have been hurtful or hard to forget.
I hope you find the best way for you to resolve these difficult relationship issues.
With best wishes
Marianna
