    Thank goodness I started to record those chats so now I can trace when she slips.

INTERVENTION TIME

This is your family. You guys aren't being honest with each other. You've reached the point where you're performing intelligence analysis, not sharing family news. Once you're on a distrustful footing, you will continue looking for reasons to distrust your mother and your brother. This is not a road you want to go down, particularly when health is on the line.

Tell your mother "I've taken to writing down our conversations and cross-referencing them because I think you're hiding stuff from me. Even if you think you're being completely honest, I need you to do whatever you can to convince me you're being completely honest because I don't like being in this position."

Or words to that effect.

You guys are going through some shit. You need to go through it together.
