Oh @ClockFace
Nothing worse than when you're in some sort of pain/illness and someone says they feel as bad as you when you know for a fact that can't be possible! VERY ironic. You almost have to laugh. I'm sorry that it's your own mum who is doing this.

Hi @ClockFace
Your title "are you out of line"
This forum is great because it is full of life experienced people.
No one really knows how a situation is until they experience themselves. One hope they do not have to experience a lot of what we go through daily. Mainly hidden mental health or hidden physical issues.
So Out of line? I would more consider your mother may now have greater empathy.
I used to work in a place and someone was off work on Workcover. Other staff gossiped they saw the person carrying groceries so cannot be that bad. Maybe the person was in pain and lived by themselves.
I think you post allows many to have more empathy for others and when we cannot see the pain, we accept that person is in .pain and support them
