Get yourself a baseball bat or club of some kind - in the privacy of your home take that club and literally beat the daylights out of a cushion & with each whack tell your mother exactly what you think (you know, those things that you don't dare say outloud). The counselors had us do this when I was in rehab-it's purpose is to release all that anger.
A good cry is always helpful but I found that the whacking and yelling at my abuser(aka: the cushion) was very healing

A few day's ago my sis (who's account i am using now) posted a message about my dad who is really ill.
But now my mom has gone crazy. She started calling me (really drunk) to tell me i needed to come over and stay the night with her in bed (yes the bed my dad almost died in) i refused. Now she is really angry at me is calling me a bad child and that i think only about myself. i (together with my sis) has stopped our lives for the last week and a half to take care of my dad in the hospital. (my mom can't and won't) I am shaking from anger at this point and turned my phone off. I am trying to not let the guilt get to me because i know i did the right thing. She needs to process this on her own, when i get back to my place (2hrs from my mom) i can't go over either.
