Not really. At this point none of His brothers and sisters were believers.
Jesus placed Mary in the care of John, the disciple whom He loved.
The Greek behind this indicates that John was to take her into his family. There is no special conferment of Mary being the "mother of the disciples" nor was Jesus giving Mary to all of us to be our "spiritual mother".
“Not really. At this point none of His brothers and sisters were believers”
None, really?
And them not believing in Him would mean they would abandon their own widowed mother, requiring a non-family member to take care of her?
Where is this found in scripture?

Only cults and Catholics would presume to teach as a major doctrine that which is utterly absent in the life of the NT church.
List of NT books which teach or prophesy of praying to Mary as the exalted Queen of Heaven, the holiest of all saints, with an infinite difference being between God's servant and His Mother, whose honor and dignity surpass the whole of creation, whose power is all but unlimited, whose prayers cannot be refused, and who possesses the royal right to dispose of the treasures of the Divine Redeemer's Kingdom, and whom angels and elect praise before her throne, with the Mary of Catholicism being being the glory of the church, this being papal teaching, not to mention that which is sanctioned as coming from lesser prelates and people.
