She isn’t a natural born mother. She struggles to put her young son’s needs above her own, and is likely suffering from an undiagnosed mental illness or personality disorder. Outwardly, she’s extremely beautiful and well put together, able to manipulate people at will. But inside it’s a different story. Before having her son, Mother was the life and soul of any party she was at. Now, she feels weighed down by a child who every day reminds her of her despised ex. Unreasonably, she resents her kid for being his father’s son. But in Mother’s warped logic, she’s the victim who hasn’t achieved her full potential, whose life was stolen from her.
