I think there you have put your finger on it. I was the same way with my mother, and boundaries were my salvation there. Kept me far away from the blowing up stage.
And you know, after a testing period, it really wasn't so bad. All I'd have to do is say a warning "daddy..." or smile cheerfully at my mother, telling her I wished she'd called first because it just wasn't convenient right now, and there wasn't much conflict at all.
My therapist helped me tons.
I hope you have a therapist to support you? And to help you decide when your mother might be a danger to you in more tangible ways so that you can protect yourself?
