This is long, but I really appreciate the help What should I do? My parents divorced several ylears ago, so I am currently living with my mother, my dad lives two hours away at the dental office he owns... My mom has recently been pretty hard on me; for instance, I didn't know she put christmas decorations so I didn't compliment her on them. She got very mad at me, and started referring to things that happened years ago that I did, and she said everybody hates me, you're the reason your parents divorced, nobody cares about me, I take everything for granted, I'm a pig, I'm an idiot, I am the reason she isn't dating, she can't have friends over because of me, and she even went as far as to call me ugly...

It sounds like your Mom has a lot of mental problems and is not a very safe person. She needs psychological help. That is probably why your father divorced her. She is projecting her inadequacies on to you and you need to see that and not own her degradation of you. You all need to have some family therapy to work through any issues there are and to learn to treat each other with respect and not project your problems on each other. I am sure she is receiving a sizeable child support if your Dad is knocking down a couple of hundred thousand a year and if she is not working she may need to consider downsizing her standard of living so that she can afford to give the family the basic necessities. She sounds like she is not very mature and is acting like a spoiled teenager instead of a responsible adult. I don't know how old you are but please do not model her behaviour as acceptable adult behaviour because it is far from it! Let her vent but please do not take it personally as her behaviour and words are irrational! Good luck!
