I took care of my mother for the last six years of her life. When her friends said she must be happy to have a son at home taking care of her, she told them no, she didn't care. And then she came home and told me about it.
Wow!! That's hard to hear. I too have taken care of people and then found out later that they couldn't care less. I don't know if this one incident is really telling of the whole relationship with your mother or not? Sometimes when people are in poor health or pain they get really frustrated and irritable. The week before my dad died he was frustrated that he couldn't fix anything and he was so sick. He called us all a bunch of as_holes. Then he came outside and got in his machinery and helped me push a tree over that was hung up. He died a week later, but I'll never forget him helping me. He was just upset and understandably so. Maybe your mother was frustrated too? If not, the important thing is that you did the right thing by caring for her. You can hold your head high.
That I'm too much in my head. They have no idea how much it hurts. First, I know my feelings moment by moment and am rarely unaware of them. Second, they are telling me they don't like or accept me as I am. It pretty much ends it for me.
That I'm too much in my head. My head is where I find the greatest pleasure in life - exploring ideas and the world. They have no idea how much it hurts. I interpret the statement to mean they don't like or accept me as I am.
I know my feelings moment by moment, and am rarely unaware of them. I don't believe I hide my feelings, except when there is a specific need for tact.
It pretty much ends it for me.

That's terrible. Were you guys arguing or maybe in need of some space from one another after a long trip together? It doesn't excuse what he said, but sometimes people fight when they spend too much time together. That's how me and my brother were at times.
