People give advice based on their concept of a mom... which is based on their own mom usually. Perhaps your mom is a loving, selfless, considerate, logical person. But sometimes, unfortunately, moms aren't. That's just another reason having a relationship with God is so important, and also being able to step outside of your emotional and relational logistics to contemplate what you are intaking objectively. You don't have to stop caring for her, but you HAVE to take breaks, turn that switch off temporarily, and look at it as if you were detached... and it was a friend and their mom you were observing. I hope she is just being irrational and this is not a sign of a larger issue.
