Problem is "go X do Y" is easier to conceive and design than grasping the elusive ass sense of pleasure, mystery and wonder one can propose in a game.
And I think part of that elusiveness includes the feeling of being completely ok if a player just completely ignores that. Which is also a hard sell.

Like... This is a problem that relates with TTRPG design as well. If "questing" and "adventuring" as a whole is merely mechanistic ("go X do Y") then the answer to that design problem is too mechanistic, thus those automaton ass solutions are the optimal go-to.
A solution to that goes to the root.

Granular sliders for difficulty and UI adjustments of the sort go a long way in alleviating that at least in terms of UX.
The design problem inherent in the question is more complex, I think, and relates both with the core verbs and philosophy behind the quest design and the experience offered.

Maybe there won't be room to mend your relationship with her, but hopefully there will. It'll never be a simple thing anyways, but the luxury of perspective is allowing you to navigate how to procede with that and find peace and love in your conclusion.
Anyways, sending you and mama "Stu" love bro.

NOW things are different and even if it hurts you can't really change the past, nor can she.
Distance gives you breadth to understand each other without friction, and things like this give perspective. All that can be good, even if it's bitter, because it allows you to reassess everything. (cont...)

Your relationship with her at the time was messy, and you understand that some of it is your fault. That's good. Some of that might've been her fault. Some of it might've been the context. All that has changed. That was then, and you felt how you did back then, and that's ok... (cont...)

I share some of that sentiments, of having a complicated relationship with parents and having to step away because of conflict and the relationship not being good...
All I can say, in the hopes that maybe down the line it can be helpful to you is that, don't... hate yourself for it... (cont...)
