> I would be pretty upset at my mom if she did that

I’m very surprised at this reaction. I feel like the right approach would be to respect her right to make a personal decisions.

You can both respect people right to make personal decisions and think these decisions are shit and affect their relationship with you negatively.

If my mother decided she was going to join not just a religious order but one of the most strict and one of the only ones preventing her to see us I would not be particularly happy about her choice.

Note that GP wrote about being upset at their mother, this seems different from what you’re describing?

> I would not be particularly happy about her choice.

This seems just being upset in general; which, I agree, isn’t inappropriate.
