I find the relationship between me and my mother very upsetting.?

I sometimes look to my mother for encouragement and support and expect for her to be understanding yet she is not . I tell my mother a problem or unpleasant situation and she turns EVERYTHING on me and makes me feel guilty or Like I am the cause of all my troubles.She also expects for to let others take advantage of me and walk all over me as if I am a doormat , and not say anything to the offender .I do not wish to talk to my mother , or expect rides from her , or favors , or gifts. I would like to distance myself from my entire family.... Instead of shutting my mother off completely , is it a good idea to limit my interaction with her ?Like instead of talking on the phone with her every other day ,only talk to her every other week?
