I think I’d really focus on understanding reasonable parental expectations of adult children and improving your relationship with them

Thank you, Divine. That is what I meant, but you put it much better. I think there is a reversed role of the daughter having to parent her mother, in this situation. I agree that therapy focusing on appropriate parental roles would likely help a lot.
