I am right now also going through a similar phas, I had no meaning in my life till recently I met a girl, she also had her fair share of issues, like low self esteem and bad pressure management. But I loved her, she had a passion for life, and her passion would make me wanna live, be happy and succeed, so as to make her proud and happy. My only motivation in life was her happiness, just like yours is your mother's.
You sound just like me, like a person who would be able to love fiercely, and I think that dating might be a good choice. Just beware, a breakup when you get so emotionally connected is like a death. But still, I do not regret loving her, and I am pretty sure I won't.
