So there's a reason why she's so psychotic!!

Yeah. I can pretty much see what caused it in my mother. Her parents were both deadbeats (her parents divorced when she was a kid - her dad was an alcoholic and took off shortly after that; if she saw him more than a handful of times between the ages of 7 and 30, I'd be surprised). Her mother was more interested in drinking and running around with men than with raising kids, so she frequently left my mom & her sister in the care of my great-grandparents. And I strongly suspect that my mother was sexually abused as a child. So, yeah.
