I told my mom this (among other things) and we’re going on year two of not speaking.

It’s like when parents say they hit you because they love you. But they “love” you regardless. They’re just hitting you because they’re mad.

Are you saying that you told your mother this because you were explaining why you are imposing 'sanctions' on her, or are you saying the two of you had an argument about politics and are therefore not speaking? (Or something else?)

"Mom I'm imposing sanctions on you." That's a thing, but saying so is generally not a good idea ;-)
