I hate the melodrama

There's a line that people learn to cross over the years. That line is based on what things could be asked of your child, even if the reason is out of personal concern.
What happened? I'll tell you. For reference, however, my mother is half a foot shorter, and about 40-55 pounds heavier than me.
I was taking a break from writing some stuff out, watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse. My mom walks right in without warning, holding herself while wearing her nightgown.
Now in the past, as she used to change in the bathroom, I learned in a less than subtle way that she sleeps without anything under the nightgown. (She left the underwear and other clothes lying on the bathroom floor.) Back to the other subject, and not how I knew that, though.
She says that she feels something and can't see if. (Though not voiced, it's because of her fat.) Right away I started to say no, and give her another option. While I was getting up to get a large hand mirror, however, she stormed out saying 'fine. Maybe I'll die for you' while storming to the bathroom and slamming to the door.
Every time I try to finish by saying 'just use this mirror to look at yourself' she interrupts with one thing or another. I tried three times with different interruptions.
Without saying right out "I'm not looking around your crotch over what may be nothing more than body acne," I wrote out a note to out with the mirror and placed it in a spot that she can see it when she wakes up this morning.
Now to hope she doesn't smash that mirror. It's my prime use for cleaning up my eyebrows and putting in contacts.
