Hi ~ I totally agree with Open Eyes. Your Mom obviously is going thru something right now that has completely affected her sense of obligation -- affected her whole way of thinking.
Some may call it a "mid-life" crisis -- she all of a sudden decided that she wanted something different, and NO ONE was going to get in her way. What she is doing isn't "normal." Like Open Eyes said, many times when people react this way, they have a problem with alcohol or drugs. You may not see any evidence of this, but it's possible --- especially with her disappearing for days on end without contacting you.
I have NO DOUBT that your mother loves you!! She is just very confused right now --- trouble is, she doesn't realize that she's confused! It's possible she'll come out of this on her own -- I've seen it happen -- but she sure could use some therapy.
I agree that you should talk to Youth & Family services about this. They could also perhaps see that you get some counseling. That would be very good for you.
I wish you the very best. I know you're going thru a lot -- but please don't doubt your mother's love. I'm SURE she loves you!! God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
