text: Hi OP. Guess we're in similar situation. For 5 years after I first came out to her, my mother continues to tell me that she cares and doesn't want me to be gay for my own good. What both of our mothers have offered is conditional love. They love us based on the ideal images that they have on their sons and not our true self. In brief, it does hurt knowing you couldn't get full support especially from someone you love but remember it's your life to live, not her's.
