I don't quite get the meaning in this context. Let me give it a shot:
I wish I didn't meet my mom.
'didn't' here means habitual in the sense that I met my mom regularly but I wish didn't meet her for that one particular instance which I did, right?
I wish I had never met my mom
means in my life, I had never met her except that one time which I wish I didn't .
I wish I didn't meet my mom.
