Yeah, he loves his momma. (But he doesn’t call me enough!)
Treasure your parents and forgive their faults. I’m sure you do, but I’m just sayin’… I lost my dad as a teen and have been estranged from my mom for decades, so I never got to know either one as an adult. You’re incredibly lucky/blessed to have the opportunity to know yours.

Goodness.
For YOUR peace of mind - I hope you’re able to reach out to your Mom at some point and make an attempt at reconciliation. Just a try. If it’s rejected, so be it. I was estranged from my parents for a good while in my 20’s; but I never quit trying and didn’t lose contact. And eventually things got better; old issues weren’t resolved, but eventually I was able to let go of the anger and simply accept what was. And they did too.
