This sounds alot like my girlfriends mother. She isn't in your mums situation, but she does treat my girlfriend like crap when she is not around her boyfriend.

M=Mum, D=Daughter

Here's the funny thing, when M is over seeing D and M has her b/f there as well, she puts on an act and treats D nice. But when M is there on her own seeing D she treats her like crap, and tries to rule her life.

I of course tell my g/f just to ignore her mum when she get's like this and not add fuel to the fire. Coz then her mum tells her to move out. Even though her mum is living with her b/f, my g/f is living at her mums place so at least she has somewhere to live.

Her mum is also a control freak. For example her mum has got the home phone on selective dialing. So my g/f can only ring certain number's. Then her mum tells her to find work. Now question, how is she suppose to find work when she can't ring up jobs that are advertised in the paper?

Yeah I know what you are thinking.....WTF?
