Hello again, I'm wondering is your mum worried about when you graduate in relation to your dad, or is it to do with her being concerned about you finishing your degree sooner rather than later in terms of getting a qualification and a job from it? I know sometimes parents can worry a lot about kids getting their qualifications and seeing them on their way. At this time, where you have the concerns about your dad, I'm wondering if your mum is able to understand how you are feeling? It sounds like it has been a bit hard talking with her.
Are you underloading at the moment so you have more time for supporting your dad and emotionally dealing with things? It's understandable if things feel a bit much and you need some space from study.
In any case, I think it's important to put your well being first. Another option for you could be chatting to a university psychologist. The uni I went to had a counselling service and I saw a very good psychologist there who helped me through some difficult times. It didn't cost anything either. I just thought that may give you some support from outside your family and help you find a pathway forward.
Take good care and feel free to chat further if you would like.
