I'm sorry you're feeling a little down about your Mom. Maybe she's not punishing you. Maybe SHE is feeling hurt that you said you can't spend more time with her, and didn't know how to react to that. Maybe she thought you were punishing HER? Just a thought. I agree wih (JD). Your feelings are important. When will you see T next? You were strong with your Dad, and now is a time you need some extra nurturing. Be nice to yourself. You deserve it!
