Perhaps it was a test. Safe to say you failed. Maybe you can dwell on it at your new home.

I find it disturbing that both OP has a crazy mom and there are is currently a 1:8 ratio of people that are just as crazy as the aforementioned mom on this site.

Moms: can't live with them, can't live without them.

Moms: can't live with them, can't mail them to china.

No but you can import them from China lol

Tell her you didn't want to leave her, you just thought it would please her if you left. I see your crazy, and I raise you an Oedipus complex.

Sounds like my mom

pshhhhh......women!

maybe she didn't think that you were going to start looking right away?

I had a housemate that was mad over that. She said she was going to move in with her cousin when our lease ended, so my other housemates & I started asking around for a replacement. The one leaving heard us talking about a potential replacement & got mad we were looking after only a week.

You need to distance yourself from that level of unhealthy. Take the plunge and get your own place.

Sounds like either your mother is menapausal or needs psychological help. Either way, run!

Just wait until the other personality shows up and move out.
