Why are mothers unkind/jealous of their daughters?

The nice lunch I bought her from a great restaurant looked too sparse, without even trying it), knowing I'm a mom of a high health needs child with barely enough bandwidth. It is her choice to be "honest" (read: bitingly unkind) just as it's my choice to love her from a far distance. My dad enables her and says it's how she is and that she's jealous I had all the opportunities she never had. Has anyone gone no/low contact with a parent like that?

Narcissist and jealousy. I have a sister like this and we last spoke at a family funeral 10 years ago.
