Fed up
Eric:
Sorry for your parent troubles.
I have no clue what's really going on here, but I suspect this is about a lot more than your dad spending some money on an engine. Married people, over time can build up deep-seated anger over past hurts and even misperceptions about who did what to whom. It's complicated and I wouldn't think of attempting to figure any of it out here.
The fact that your mom is turning on you is disturbing. That is highly unusual. Usually, fathers turn on sons, not mothers. She may have problems you don't know about or even some organic problem that affects her mental stability.
Whatever it is, I would give her a wide berth and if she eventually apologizes, accept it and let her know you're concerned about her. I hope this works out for you.
