To preface this, I know I did something wrong, but I also feel like my mother is being manipulative and unfair.
I (32f) don't live with or near my parents, but I have / had a relatively good relationship with my mother (64f). We usually talk on the phone every other week and text each other updates and photos and such. About 3 months ago, I had a job interview for which I had to travel to a different city. I took the train the evening before, stayed at a hotel, went to the interview, and took the train back. Nothing special or dangerous about it, but it was stressful and I was nervous. My mother texted me literally almost every hour to ask where I was - "did you catch the train?", "are you at the hotel now?", "did you have the interview yet?" etc. Relevant context: I was attacked by a random crazy person a few weeks before that which I assume was the reason she was so worried. Anyway, in the evening when I was back home I got a bit annoyed and wrote her something along the lines of "I know you mean well, but this was too much. Please don't expect me to update you about every move I make anymore". She didn't answer and literally hasn't sent me a single message since. She will reply when I message her first, but if I don't, I won't hear from her at all.
Sorry, I realise that this is an extremely boring story, I tried to keep it as concise as possible. The situation is really weighing on me though because I genuinely don't know what to do anymore. I know I technically asked her to message me less, but I feel like she's been doing this to punish me and it feels kind of disproportionate.
What are you drinking today? What questions have been on your mind? Any stories to share? And don't worry, no one will make fun of you for what you drink or the questions you ask.
You can also talk about anything else on your mind, from your specific routine while making tea, or how you've been on an oolong kick lately. Feel free to link to pictures in here, as well. You can even talk about non-tea related topics; maybe you want advice on a guy/gal, or just to talk about life in general.

Good morning!
Eric O'Flaherty turns 40 today, the long time Braves lefty reliever pitched for the 2015 Mets. Josh Lewin once said during a game he couldn't find the strike zone with a compass.
Roberto Alomar turns 57 today, the hall of fame second baseman played two years for the 2002 and 2003 Mets. He retired from baseball after the 2004 season and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2011 on his second ballot.
Austin Warren turns 29 today, the righty reliever pitched for the Angels from 2021 to 2023 and for the Giants in 2024. The Mets claimed Warren off waivers from the Giants on January 15th.
On this date in 1903, Joan Whitney Payson is born. Payson was the first owner of the Mets from 1962 to her death in 1975. She was a socialite and baseball fan, as well as member of the influential Whitney family, her brother John "Jock" Whitney who also owned the New York Herald Tribune. Joan Whitney Payson was a shareholder of the New York baseball Giants who opposed moving the Giants to San Francisco. Payson oversaw the early, rather ugly days of the 1960s Mets and the 1969 Mets who won the World Series. She was a dedicated fan and an owner who was beloved by her players. She died in October 1975 and team ownership went to her husband Charles Payson and daughter Lorinda de Roulet. In 1980, Payson and de Roulet sold the Mets to Nelson Doubleday and Fred Wilpon.
