uh not reddit but aita? plsplspls answer dis

okay so. its been 3 days since i actually talked to my mother. lets name her "K" kay? kay. so K and i have been very okay with each other since our last fight, and i actually thought it was gonna last (:/ ye) but like iour relationship been declining again for atleast a week now and it finally reached its breaking point this sunday. We were gonna go to my aunts house and i was getting myself ready fast bc she told me we were running late, and so i went to put my shoes on and shoo the cat inside, bc she (the cat) likes to run around in the backyard when we open the door so  i thought id help and shorten the tasks to be done by bringing her inside. K then suddenly starts yelling at me to let the cat be and proceeds to tell me that i do not do what i have to and that i keep avoiding my tasks. The thing is that i was actually trying to be better for like a month now. Its hard for me to complete or even to start tasks because i have a cocktail of anxiety depression and ADHD, so procrastination and forgetfulness and i walk tied side by side and anything that doesnt imediatelly sparks my interest is put aside by my unwilling brain, even tho i know i have to execute the task. Despite that, i was trying to be a bigger help around the house by executing simple chores like washing the dishes or sweeping the floor, and also by taking better care of my pets (who i love with all my heart, but i sometimes forget to feed) of course with her help. Ive told her a LOT  of times i have trouble being a functional human being and she just brushes it off telling me that im lazy, and treating what i make a effort to do with disdain (as seen in her phrase up there.) I ask her why is she yelling and she keeps saying stuf that i dont remember now. Then i run inside crying because i wasnt feeling well for a week now (ive been feeling like a hole from hell has opened to swallow me whole lately) and she comes inside telling me (still yelling) that she meant that i dont take care of my pets well (which ive been trying to do better) and i yell back to her telling her to not talk to me. i then storm out of the room and go hide under the house (our house has like a foundation thing that has a lil hiding spot under) and wait for her to go to my aunts for me to go back inside (keep in mind it was raining all the while, so i sat there in the wet climate on a bunch of dirt.) Its been 3 days since then and i havent heard a single apology. Ive been actively avoiding my tasks, her, only doing what is convenient for me to do and shutting in my room all day except for school, bathroom and handball. we barely talked a word and being honest i am expecting her to apologize, which she never does but made me do last time. am i the asshole for this?

I don't think you're the asshole tbh. I think your mom doesn't understand the mental illnesses you have which is causing her to deal with in it various types of wrong ways. She should apologize to you for making you do that, it speaks volumes if an incident like that occured and she has not even attempted an apology. I understand very well how the way you act may seem unproductive and lazy but that's not exactly your fault. It's just that you forget to do things because of your ADHD (If i recall you having correctly). Maybe you should go up to her and talk about it and rationalize with her a bit, although don't go in with the intention of getting an apology with her. Go in with the intention to just talk it out and reach some sort of understanding

i understand where you r coming from, but rationalizing with her never works. one of us always ends up getting stressed and it turns into another fight, usually because she thinks i "try to find ilness to make myself sick with", quoting her. i just neede to know i was not the wrong one in the situation because i spent the last few days blaming myself since thats what she always made me believe. Thanks 4 ur comment tho :)
