I can relate to this, it's very hard to function properly when you have the weight of one or both of your parents resting heavily on your shoulders. Psychiatrists will come up with all sorts of ways to explain why this occurs and how to overcome it but their methods would involve 'changing idols' where the focus is not shifted onto God but rather onto something else.

This is a serious issue, and it's not just the mom doing it. I know of at least one of my childhood Christian friends, whose faith is presently "shipwrecked", whose parents "idolized" him to the extent that they allowed themselves to perceive much of his bad behavior as "cute", and thus did much less than they should have to correct it. Irritating at the time but very sad (especially for him) today.

what if your mom lives thousands of miles away? I believe all I can do is direct her to the word, but I can't direct her to a church because I don't know the people or the area she lives in.
