I think what you want from her is for her to respect you. Unfortunately she doesn’t understand that and you end up walking away from her felling frustrated. This is emotional neglect that you are feeling and this has been an ongoing challenge for you when it comes to your mother.

However it sounds like your mother was emotionally neglected herself and that is actually common for her generation.
