My values and my mother's values have changed and this is only normal

I see the unhealed parts of myself, I understand how I have grown this or that way because of this and this. I still love her, and yet the fears that surround her and the worries are no longer mine and I can understand how that makes her feeling alone. I am sorry about it and yet I can do nothing.
I see how she wants to drag me into playing this game of fear, that game of anger, that game of scarcity. And me refusing to play with her, must not feel good to her.
I know I need to move, I have always known that I cannot live with her despite that I can love her.
You can argue that it's not real love, if I cannot take another's darkness.

But it feels that this is my moment to live. It is a new beginning for me and she is full of resentment for life and others. I am making choices. She is feeling like a victim of her own offerings. Being around this is not something I want, a strong NO there.

I must stop trying anything whatsoever as I've seen that trying only burdens the circumstances with judgements and expectations. I should simply be here for the time that I will be, move, focus on the things I want to focus.
And yet the bait is so good, to bite into, seeing how she forced me into an almost autistic child because of her overwhelming nature, and so I always had to "focus on myself, go inwards" instead of expressing myself and being who I am. I must thank her because she helped me to unlock my spiritual nature like that, the inclination to go inwards.
I need to better shift my focus towards appreciation, or nothingness, quietness.
Either love or quiet, unless I cannot anymore and then I will have to explode.

I think what truly bothers me is that I feel this is not real love I am giving her.

So whilst winning I did remember to take action so I took one more walk into the storage room and lightened it up, weight - wise, some more.
I'll do the best to my capacity whilst being here and I will practice what I have learned by now:
I will do my best to the degree I am capable of without strain and I will focus on the things that I can do and not on the things that I cannot.

@being that is perfect

@JackDaniels I meant to write whining before. But winning described it more accurately. Thank you!

So she has overbearing negative fear vibes? 😐 that’s emotionally draining.. i see why you would flee from it .. 😬 have you ever tried talking to her about toning it down? But that’s her personality right? Hard to change a persons core behaviors but it can happen sometimes

Just be true to you and it is okay to have a love/hate relationship

The word "love" is too hyped because we live in social structure which have foundations on love. There is no space for love when you think in relation to the being you are.

True, it is not 'real' love you are giving her, but neither is the love she is offering you 'real'.

The love she is offering you is called 'conditional love', not true love.

"Conditional" to mean, "..if you do things my way and play my game according to my rules, I will reward you by loving you in some way that I will decide.... but if you don't play in my sandbox according to how I want you to play, then all bets are off and you can expect to get written-out of my Will from your disobedience and non compliance".

@swirlie yes. But then she forgets about it and loves me again.

Yes, but that's all part of the "conditional love" strategy behind a person who intensely hates themselves, who then projects their self-hatred onto those around them who will not question their behavior, or onto those who will at least play the game with them.
