It seems you are so ingrained in your Protestant prejudice you can't reason clearly.
If you really want to love and serve the Lord as you claim to do, why don't you ask Our Lord to give you His heart with which to love His Mother. What have you got to lose? I'm sure He would grant you this grace if you asked with a sincere and humble heart.

He has given me His heart in which to love mary, just as He does... as a fallen sinner that has been saved by His grace through her faith...just as He loves each of us.
Do you really believe that if it were not for mary that Christ would not have put on flesh and dwelled among men? Do you really believe that God is so dependent on mary? Do you not think that if not for mary it couldn't have been another faithful servant? Do you really believe that God needed mary and without her Jesus would not exist?

Nahaaz, the Syrian commander in the Book of Kings, asked for and received permission to bow down before another deity, but his was a special case. I'm not too sure I'd be on safe ground if I asked God for permission to violate the first commandment. If we deliberately try to embrace that which we know to be contrary to God's clear command, we open our souls up to satanic deception.
