Your mother drives you crazy because you're stuck with her. You can end friendships when your friends bother you, get a new car when your existing car gives problems, buy a new wardrobe when your old one starts getting boring, but family you're stuck with. The problem is that you have no control over the situation because you are stuck with them, and this causes a feeling of powerlessness, powerlessness leads to frustration, frustration leads to aggression... I'm starting to sound like Yoda here. And the sad thing is, one day when she's no longer around you'll wish you had her back and you'll feel guilty about having ever gotten irritated with her when she was alive.
