I have to tell you that when I read your first post I figured you were a 15 year old kid but a married woman with her own home? Your mother does not own you any more and she cannot control you without your consent.
Assert yourself.
This.
Sorry to say this, but I have lots of friends who have trouble telling their parents to back off (we're in our early 20s), they hate it, they know what to do, but they don't do it. Some of them are even in danger of arranged marriage, some still have curfews, some can't travel without their family, some can't date outside of their community, etc. etc.
Only they can change things for themselves, no one else can. Your situation really reminds me of them.
