Is she a toxic/bully mom or nah?!

There’s is a situation this summer that my mom has send me somewhere else than our house to live, (she rented a room in a house, I’ve stayed there for about 4 months- from early August to Late December) and then yesterday I moved in again with her in a another house (smaller than the one we had) and she been really controlling telling me what to do since we been here she wasn’t like that in our old house, I don't know why she acting like that, is she has became a toxic/bully mother or what?

Hi 🙂
I really think that that's an exaggeration.
No, I don't think she's become toxic at all. If you've all moved into a new house, she might just be very stressed and a bit of a control freak all of a sudden? This is normal. She probably doesn't want you doing anything that could cause more problems or stress for her. May I ask, how old are you?
I think you've probably just overreacted, and aren't seeing things from her perspective. Try being more empathetic 🙂

It's possible she could be really stressed.

Maybe you can talk to her about it.
