I find it interesting that our North American response is to say that our lives are out own. In Asia, it isn't the case. As a child you have filial responsibilities to your parent.
They looked after you and you *must* look after them. Your individual needs are secondary to this.
Your mother, being Thai, may be struggling with this.
