How old are you?

I think you ought to be grateful your Mum has taken you back and I think your 'God Help Me' comment was uncalled for!

Tbh while yes your mum might be being unreasonable it sounds like there are a lot of issues there that are making you see everything to do with her in a bad light anyway.

Regardless of how welcoming she may have been she has agreed to put you up. I'm assuming she's then paying for your food/additional costs to the bills etc. So she is doing you a favour and all you seem to be focused on how awful it is to be having to live there. You are an adult and you have a choice - by choosing to live there then she may consider you 'owe' her and can expect favours in return.

For what it's worth I moved out at 18, partly because I found my mum quite hard work to live with as well. I've had several periods of unemployment since then but quite frankly I would never consider moving back in my parents as an option because I know we just wind each up when we're under the same roof.

How terribly sad. I would feel utterly rejected and shaken to my core if I knew either of my parents felt like this.

I would find somewhere else to live and then (slowly) distance myself permanently.

Good luck with the job hunting/interviewing and best wishes with your family.

I know you said ...

"I mean...for the love of God! I genuinely think that she is bipolar, or at least something close to it...she also touches on narcisissm, but isn't totally full-blown in that respect (though enough to cause issues)"

... but I have to say that as I read your post it literally screamed narcisistic personality disorder to me!
