How can I allow my mother to live for herself?
Allow and even encourage mom to have some not-so-right ideological beliefs (she thinks she believes in Buddhism, but in reality, not much, but can make her body and mind and happy, I do not care about her). Allow and even encourage mom to have some personal hobbies that are not so correct (her calisthenics, I think it is close to square dancing, but fortunately it is not a big deal). Don't tie her down with so-called "healthy hobbies", let her do whatever she likes. Better yet, give her a pet. Get an easy-to-use electronic device and let her play with WeChat and other apps.
