Mom puts on this weird act in front of other people

Idk where else to post this but this sub pops up on my feed a lot so i guess I’ll go here.

Whenever she talks to someone that isn’t one of her close “friends” or family, she acts very superficial, almost like an AI generated version of herself. It’s eerily similar to how Trump acts. That’s the best way I can put it.

She’ll flex all of the stuff she buys for me, she’s constantly trying to reassure people that she’s a good parent, and when she’s doing something serious (child services, social workers, etc.) she’ll go off topic and start bragging about her past achievements.

But when I’m with her she’s not like that at all. When I pointed out her weird behavior, she immediately got defensive and said I was trying to argue with her. I get into fights with her a lot and she always puts it in me being aggressive when she’s the one that starts them. She’ll threaten to kick me out at the drop of a hat (once she did because she said weird things to one of her friends’ kids and I told her to stop..) then turn around and say she would never do that.

Her behavior has been really frustrating me lately. She’s treats everyone like shit and I’m the only one that tries standing up to her. Everyone else just takes it and gossips about it like fucking pussies. I don’t know what to do or why she acts like this.
