The answer

It is obligatory for Muslims to strengthen their faith-based brotherhood and avoid anything that weakens it, and this is especially emphasized among children, parents, and relatives. A mother must treat her son and his family kindly and avoid mistreating them. However, a mother's mistreatment does not negate her right to dutifulness and kindness, for this is among the most obligatory duties, and a mother's right is more affirmed than a father's. You must be patient with your mother, treat her with kindness, not sever ties with her, and pray for her righteousness, for your good treatment will change her behavior.
