I think they simply find you amusing, for a while.
It's not about "why", anyway, it's about you recreating the situation you were in with your mother, subconsciously setting yourself up to lose her again. Or something like this. Reflecting on this alone won't change anything, individual therapy might, if you wanted to break out of the cycle.
