My mother found out that I have seizures when I was 5 days old. I found out when I was a child.

My mom still doesn't want to admit I have them and I am 56 years old. I have been diagnosed with epilepsy now for certain since I was 3 now. They confirmed it in 2020.
She's even told me not only once but twice she didn't love me anymore and then acted as if she were having a seizure with her right arm and she was driving at the time. CRAZY. That's why I feel like it is no longer my obligation to talk with her at all. I want to look at all sides.
So if you have any other side please share
