I sometimes wonder if mothers and daughters can coexist under the same roof after adulthood. Maybe it's an evolutionary thing.
You'll never be able to change her behavior, but maybe you could think about how to change your own steps in the dance? I think there's a book called "The Dance of Anger" you might be able to find at your local library.
Boundaries are hard when you live together, but maybe they are even more important.
Hang in there. You aren't a failure just because you need help right now. We all need help from time to time.(Venting at Babble actually can help, I think. It has kept me sane from time to time.)
