Anxiety after asserting boundaries

My mother asked me to bring her home from a surgery. Sure ok fine. But then she said she is afraid they will trick her into staying and lock her up??? And she wants me to say that I will sign her out if they want her to stay.

Um, what. No, I will not take her home against medical advice. I don't feel comfortable with that. I said no.

She lost her mind, said she doesn't feel like she can trust me, and her voice started getting louder so I hung up and she sent me this text about how I am "mean"...

I wrote back to send me the hospital details and I will meet her there. And that if she doesn't trust me then she should ask someone else to take her.

It feels cold to stand up for myself. It feels cold not to coddle her. But I am angry and I don't want to play along with the bullshit anymore. Plus this is actually serious. She is a narcissist. She has no capacity to consider the other person.

This is why I moved out of State.

I will not take care of her when she is old. No way in hell. I will visit if she is in the hospital.

I feel like she believes I owe her because she gave birth to me and suffered to raise me. I didn't choose to be born. You don't own me because you decided to have a kid with an abusive alcoholic. Your shitty life is on you lady.

I feel really emotionally distant from her right now but also kinda anxious like oh man am I in trouble?
