My mother and I have a pretty fragile relationship.

Same. I still love her but in large part I still am in contact with her just because I respected my dad and he always took care of her, so I feel obligated to help do the same.

She has had severe mental lapses at times when medications needed to be adjusted and that has led to a lot of issues. One time she called the cops and said that I had stabbed my wife and kid to death. Was not that fun to answer the door in the middle of the night with cops yelling to see my wife.
