Coming to terms with the fact that you are your mother's least favorite child...

I've invited her out to eat 3 times, she declined.
I live 15 minutes away from her, however, she will drive 30 minutes away to go visit my sisters. She will come over if she needs help with her computer or smartphone.
She will ask me to come over to fix her TV.
She recently indicated that she was sad so i offered to come over and bring her food and drink ... no response. When my sister invited her over, she's on top of that.

My mother is 75 and we've never really been that close, but damn, why not just tell me to my face that you'd rather not be bothered instead of ignoring and avoiding me. It's additionally aggravating because there's no talking with her about how I feel. She'd just downplay the issue.

I can understand this well. I am the one that sacrifices to take care of them and after a year my brother decides he wants to take over much of it. It has cost me a lot of money and my emotional health but i keep doing things because I love them. I live the furthest away too. I feel you so deeply because I could have written it. I will keep you in my thoughts.
@Fungirlmmm Thank you for your feedback and understanding. 🤗 Sending warm thoughts to you as well.
