Mom has a problem. Put the situation in perspective, Do you want to help your mom or blow her off? Helping her will require effort and pain, while blowing her off requires ten seconds of talk and thirty years of guilt.
Not an easy descision, but a good chance for you both to become better people, and possibly a closer family. Or bitter enemies, and a non-existant family.
Life is full of choices, none of them wrong.
