Can you try and explain to your mum how much she means to you?

Nope. My mother told me this: "stop acting like a child. It's a cat, not a child. It probably hates you anyway,"
She then grounded me for crying, because "you're sixteen, Nikki. Grow up, get a job, get a boyfriend and stop being such an annoying kid".
My life in a nutshell. My family like to destroy my happiness.
