@Bify123 You probably have a good reason, to stick with your mum, in spite of that. But hey, you need to think deeply about your situation, and the vibes it is giving you. Accordingly, think about why you think things like this happen, and align your thoughts, and actions with that higher purpose. Sometimes thinking that God is in control helps.
