Ugh! Difficult subject. My Mom makes me crazy too. Have you tried to isolate what it is in particular that presses your buttons? My Mom is insanely controlling. But I've figured out how much that has to do with her own mental problems and insecurities. Sometimes it helps to be aware she's being completely irrational (but only sometimes). And one thing I've learned is different personalities have to be handled differently. There's this book I read a while back that gives some helpful advice.
"Dealing with People You Can't Stand: How to Bring Out the Best in People at Their Worst"
