I"m happy for you Blake! It's so important to take care of ourselves, and this sounds like what you need right now. Do you own "Courage to Change" or "The Language of Letting Go"? They are both daily readers. If you have them, or can get one, I would suggest you take them with you to your parents. Then take a little time for you each morning while you're there to read and reflect. It will help put you in a good headspace with your Mom, and help you to not fall into that pattern of conflict you described.
