Dear Abby: I am a 48-year-old female who had to move in with my parents. It’s not working. I know I am messy and tend to procrastinate. The issue is my mother. She constantly goes into my room to snoop. She tells me I’m worthless and dumb. Last night, I was eating a pork chop, and she said I was using the wrong knife. She took my knife and gave me a butter knife! I lost my job, so moving out isn’t an option. But her comments and obvious disdain for me are not good for my self-esteem. Help! — Trapped in Long Beach
