This is indeed a phenomenon and a fact. Like you said, it's not fake. My mother is ill and should really work, but it is not easy to work in other places. It's not easy to come back. It is said that you can't give up your job for money, but you can still take a period of leave and be filial before going to bed. It doesn't mean that you should quit your job and take care of your mother at home. So you'd better say that you will come back to take care of your mother for a while during her illness, and then go back to earn money to be a daughter. Even if you do your filial piety, your mother won't let you resign. There is no need to feel too guilty and painful. It's not easy for old people to understand you young people. You can make money for your mother, and then let her live a good life and get better.
