I refuse to speak to my mother because I'm really upset.
after my interview i had to meet with my mother sense she insist i did so,
i called my mother 42 times before she could answer the phone, when i finally met with her i told her " mom i need to buy a cheap work shoe sense i don't have one" and she said okay, my mother entered about 8 stores and she had a lot of heavy things. BY THE WAY i don't allow my mother to hold load, i would force myself if i have to but to see her with heavy load doesn't make me feel good.
I DID not mind the load but she didn't care to even go and look for the shoe with me.
NOW fine i had $35 dollars in my purse for a shoe but the one i liked was 50 dollars i did not have that much, my mother offered to lend it to me and i would give it to her tomorrow.
let me make this clear " i was fine with buying what my money could afford "
but she pressure me into taking the one i liked so she could lend me the money.
SO SHE LEND ME $15 dollars.
by the time i got home by belly was hurting really bad,
i told my mom " Mummy don't go outside and work because i won't be able to help u since am in pain"
MY MOM STILL WENT OUTSIDE and work.
my mom wanted to lift a bag of cement so she called me, i still tried my best to carry it for her but the dog kept wrapping the chain around my leg which almost made me cut my leg on the glass.
MY MOM IS JUST STANDING THERE WATCHING won't even hold the dog.
i shout guys, i said " maria hold the dog because i'm trying to help u and am not feeling well.
my mother started cursing me and threatening to take jail for me, saying how she lend me money and if she did not lend me money she could have paid someone to carry her thing for her.
NOW THE THING ABOUT ME IS
i don't allow anyone to help me out because i don't want anyone throwing things back in my face, so accepting a hand out thats not me and she knows that.
LAST MONTH only i gave my mom $1200 dollars to buy whatever she wants and i lend that money to give her, i did not even have it.
NOT ONCE can my mother say i gave her anything and brag about it, or sent it back in her face.my bothers and sisters don't even know how much money i give to my mom or if i even give her.
i'm my mom's only child who does things for her and i mean everything, bills everything, i make sure she doesn't have to work or worry, since my brothers and sisters only focus on themselves.
MOST OF THE TIME SHE ACTS LIKE SHE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ME, LIKE I'M JUST SOME TRASH.
WAS I WRONG ?
DID I OVERACT ?
UPDATE i made a lot of errors since i wasn't in a good mood but i fixed it

Its ok. We understand about errors. First, whatever you give to your mother should be in her bank account through your bank account. I believe giving to parents is fine. But keeping for self too is necessary. Any amount you give should be half of what you earn at this stage. Beyond that as and when you need to for food, or rent, so that the obligation is felt the other way around and realization remains. Whatever your mother said may have been out of stress. Forgive and correct the situation by keeping control on your monies.

I'm sorry you and your mother are at odds. Your mother should not have insisted you help her when you weren't feeling good. She should not have thrown the money in your face that she gave you for the shoes. It was her choice to do so.
Yes, you overreacted. You need to calm down, and let it go. No, don't go to your mother. The situation is still volatile. It could make things worse.

My mother is a toxic person, would always scream and put my brother and me down. She told us she wished we never been born, she beat us, among other things. As adults we set boundaries but she kept on with her ways. We finally cut all communication off to help our mental and emotion health.
She attempted over the years to get us to give her money then cursed us out when we wouldn't. She hasn't contacted me in over 20 years. She did try to contact my brother about 10 years ago to see if he would move her to Phoenix, Arizona. He lives in Pennsylvania and she in North Carolina. He couldn't get off from work and he was a single dad with custody of his 2 children. He offered to pay a moving company to move her there. She said she never wanted to talk to him again.
Sometimes for your mental well being it is best to cut toxic people out of your life or set boundaries to where you are okay with.

i suspect that no matter which way this ends up, the best path forward is to just try to find the middle ground
