My mother keeps trauma dumping me. I don't know how to tell her to stop. I am her only confidante but I can't anymore. Lately it has increased a lot. What should I do?

I hope your situation will improve, and you should be brave - tell her straight up and talk about how you really feel. Humans are made to snap one day or another, so before you snap and yell things you don't want slipping out your mouth - I would say ask your mother, "Can we talk?" and explain your feelings about her trauma dumping, for her problems aren't supposed to be solved by you! Recommend a therapist if you'd like.
Goodluck! I hope you'll feel better.
