Not sure if this was the right thing to do

Kiddo all waa somewhere this afternoon. Former experiences have shown it is best to ignore that till she comes to me. But it's hard to do. There are still so many things that can't be seen as gray (bad blogger, grey is the correct spelling!) with her. Might be age, I can recall being same certain about lots things too back in the days when there was nothing between black and white anyway.
Eventually she collapsed down at my spot while I was slacking in bed letting randomness pass by moaning she was so tired. Stupid people tire her and she can't not react to them. Which I think basically is part of the problem of her being so tired. She keeps getting carried away emotionally by people that feed on her inability to say no to them. Even though they refuse to do logical things and keep on moaning to her. I'm torn between making it stop by just pulling the net-plug or just let it go. Both are somehow wrong. If I force her to quit this to prevent her from hurting herself more she will turn against me (which is logical), if I just let it be I have to watch the hurting (and both hurts me).
She quits any talk that goes that way. 'I don't want to have this conversation.'
So I kinda ended up explaining some nuttiness of my mother. How I am incapable (apparently) of handling her stress. And yes if I stress kiddo stresses. So I think I covered the major areas of stress between us and bypasses, but that also meant I had to explain my initial instant reaction to anything kiddo does to the reforming of that reaction into an appropriate action. Which I couldn't do without mentioning certain parts of how my mother acted. Which! I have tried to sorta avoid so kiddo would be able to have a relation with them not based on my biased view on them. My stress causes kiddo to stress faster or more easy and kiddo stress makes me stress, somewhere that has to be stopped. So still not sure if this was the correct way to breaking that cycle.
