dude first of all...stop apologising ... i repeat STOP SAYING SORRY ...

why? COZ U HAVENT DONE ANYTHING WRONG... is that clear enough or should i enlarge the font ... ?

damien , she is what she is and that is nearly 50 .... she may be going through changes and hence the behaviour ... support her by all means if u want to ... but do not say sorry when u havent dont anythiing wrong ...

u r not yet `18 ... do not scar ur life by making this experience 'the' paramount experience of ur life ... u have ur whole life ahead of u ...

i will not question ur feelings regarding her ... i have no such right ... but dude seriously , do u respect urself? coz if u dont , no one else will ..., no matter what she says or shouts ... u havent done anything wrong ...

if u like her and love her , then by all means stay and help and support her ... but if not ... then its time u turned 18 and decided things for urself

best of luck and keep us informed

Hussain
