It's natural to look up to your mother for support and unconditional love. A healthy mother-child relationship is nurturing, respectful, and encouraging.
However, sometimes the most important person in a child's life is a brutal emotional abuser.
If your mother...
didn't respect your personal boundaries and treated you as an extension of herself (and maybe she does it even now)
tried to control you by making you feel guilty and withdrawing her love
didn't want you to become an independent adult
gaslighted you
was obsessed with creating an illusion of a perfect family
would become very aggressive if you confronted her over her behavior (and maybe she still does)...
