Hi thethinkingboy,
It's obvious that you are a responsible, caring and good son. How unfortunate that your mother can't see that you are acting in her best interests. You are 'right' in that her behavior is irrational and unacceptable. As you experienced, however, there is not much you can do about it. She doesn't want to change. She is stuck in a rut and she's not about to listen to what you have to say.
As others have suggested, it would be a good idea for you to back off for a while but let her know that you love her no matter what and will help her when she is willing to help herself.
Beyond that you have no control over the situation. You deserve to live your life and not have to worry about what she will do. She has demonstrated she doesn't want your help right now. It is evident that you are a good, caring person. |
