Camel on the fritz

I'm really not sure what to do right now. I am struggling to keep my temper with my mother. I know it does help if I freak out and yell at her. But even just talking with her is difficult. I just keeping sittng there thinking "we should be doing something".

When I moved, I gave her most of my stuff, like linens and kitchen stuff. Things she needs, really. But they're all still in the boxes. I don't think she has even opened one box. Says she hasn't had time. Maybe she shouldn't spend two hours staring at the walls every day.

I sent her things in two rounds. I can understand with the first round, their was sooo much stuff. Fine. But the second time I only sent a a few boxes? Why can't she just put things away when she gets them? I think what really tee-ed me off was finding the movie I had bought her when she stayed with me to help me pack. Not even opened, buried at the bottom of a box. I mean what is the point of giving someone things when they aren't going to ever use them?

And if you think I am overreacting, think again. She still hasn't taken the Christmas gift I gave her three years ago out of the gift bag.

I mean I am trying to help her out. But what is the point?
