Listen man. I know exactly what you are going through. You have a strong-willed mother, and a good father, who perhaps could use some lessons in being a real man.

You simply have to deal with it and show your mom some respect. I know how such an attitude can make an entire family dysfunctional, but questioning her only makes thing worse.

You have to start going out of your way to show she cares to get you off her back, being honest, being the best person you can be.

I know how hard this kind of situation can be, but you gotta show her all the respect you can, even if it's not enough for her. She's your mom, and the only person who could love you like no other.
