Try understanding that the age gap between you both suggest that your mindsets will have differences, so you will need to put yourself in her shoes first. Communicate with her and clarify any misunderstandings. Discuss what you feel and what you would like out of the situation. Whatever response she gives, accept it, and find a common solution to the problem.

Try and see things from both perspectives. Once you understand why there is conflict and what her reasons are you can then look to try and solve the problems in a calmer manner.

Try to be understanding and grateful when she does something for you, maybe she feels unappreciated. If she asks you to do something try and do it without complaining after a while she'll start seeing that you're trying and that she shouldn't be so hard on you.

Be honest. Talk about it. Do a 'calm' activity. Figure out where the negativity and/or low points originate from, and work together to eliminate those things.

Focus on your part. If she's mad, be the bigger person and descalate the situation. Don't let her walk all over you of course, but let certain things go.

This is hard. Even until now me amd my mom always get into conflicts. I guess the best way to stop the conflicts is to understand each other. Cooperation from both sides.

Try and talk to her, if you are not comfortable with confrontation then you could write her a letter and let her know how you feel.

It seems like a natural thing to get into conflicts with parents. I am finally on good terms with my parents (although it took me way too long to get here) and I think, one way to get there is to be open and honest. Not making your mother your best friend, but in the end she has known you your whole life, so ask her for advice. She will see your maturity and treat you with respect (and you'll get some great advice from it, too!). And if you do fight, make sure to give each other space to calm down. If you come around to see that you did react to strongly, tell her, she wont judge you for it, she will appreciate your apology. And if you think she overreacted, ask her where that reaction came from.

Try to explain how you feel to her, and tell her that this isn't helping. Try to come to "peace" with her.
