that's a really tough situation, but there are things you can't change about other people, and you might be at the beginning of a mourning period.

if you decide not to drop out of her life, you need to find ways to protect yourself

I know that what de-radicalized me, and from what I read is the go-to, is making deep connections and communities offline. I think people turn to this stuff so frequently because of isolation and alienation. Finding ways to get her out of the house and away from the sources of radicalization will do her well, that sort of connection and activity will also help mitigate the forgetfulness and brain fog that comes from age. "use if or loose it" is something we saw with my grandma for sure.

another thing that could help if you have that sort of relationship is to just sit her down and talk frankly about how this is a wedge between you two. that's, easier said than done. I just know that with my own mother having that sort of come to jesus talk was what set us on the road to undoing years of alienation and separation.
