Hello Xephyrrx,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry that it has been pretty tough for you.

Miscommunications are common between family members and I've had my fair share of them too. Yes, things might mellow down in a few days, so you might want to wait a bit.

Then, you might want to openly clarify matters with your mom. Start out by clarifying about the unintentional matter that happened, and then explain things from your point of view. Tell her you wish to get your relationship with her back on track and don't wish for things to remain sour. Tell her to express her concerns as well.

I'm a big advocate of transparency, and I hope that through a frank conversation, both you and your mom may be able to clear the tension.

As we grow up and develop our adult personalities, it is natural to get into arguments with parents. You will get stronger with time.

Take care
