<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Hi Reddit,

I have been having increasing trouble getting along with my mother recently. I am a graduate student and live at home while I find a new place closer to school. 

My mom and I used to have a good relationship; we could usually work out disagreements in a reasonable way and amount of time. However recently, she and I keep snipping at each other and arguing more and more often. It's to the point where we are constantly upset with each other. And I'm not exactly sure what the cause is.
I tried to sit down with her today and talk about it. She took the same attitude she always does: she gets very defensive and asks "why we are even talking about this" because "we both already know you everything is my fault." I was not denying any blame nor blaming her. I was really trying to get to the underlying problem so that we could live together in peace for the next month or two. It is exhausting having someone be rude to you constantly and be rude to them right back. I really just wanted a solution. 

I know that you cannot reason with someone who is being unreasonable, but I do not know of any other way to deal with the problem than talk it out. I just cannot get her to have a reasonable, honest conversation with me.

What do I do?
<bot>: My mother and I are rude to each other constantly. In trying to smooth out the situation, she refuses to have a reasonable conversation with me.
