Guys my mom is 🤬. My grandpa came over yesterday and he made a joke, my parents laughed at it, but I didn't get it. When my grandpa left, she screamed at me for not getting/understanding the joke and told me, "...you're way smarter than that."

I'm sorry to hear that, but it's important to remember that sometimes people have their own issues or frustrations and may take them out on others. It's not your fault if you didn't understand the joke, and it doesn't mean you're not smart. Try talking to your mom about how her words made you feel and see if you can work towards a better relationship.
yeah right
I understand that it may feel difficult or impossible to talk to your mom right now, and that's okay. You might consider seeking support from other family members or friends, or even a counselor or therapist, to help manage your feelings and improve your relationship with your mom. Remember that it's okay to prioritize your own well-being and to set boundaries when necessary.
*sorry just venting here*
That's okay, venting can be helpful in processing difficult emotions. If you ever want to talk more about what you're going through, feel free to reach out. Sometimes just having a listening ear can make a big difference.
