It is not STS to protect yourself from an unhealthy situation. I know what you speak about, being prone to feelings of guilt myself (we have a narcissist in our extended family who was good at those tactics, thank god there is no contact anymore I have not seen her for more than two years now)
Know that it is not you, it is them.... and if at all a narcissist learns it is the hard way. Like when people around them leave, and are not playing along with their game etc.
You are actually doing them a favor that way.
I wish you well! stay strong and remember to say "thank you for your service and the catalyst you provided" and then let them go.
I know it is hard since it is your mum in this case.
You can also check for forums or websites about narcissism - or support groups. You will see you are not alone in this.
Much love and light to you!
