I know this sounds horrid... But I just wanted my mother to get the hell away from me. She had even less of a comprehension of boundaries than I do. She was invasive. E.g., 'put a sweater on you are cold'. I was warm as anything - I was running around. She was cold - she needed to put a sweater on. Then when my putting a sweater on didn't work for her I had to go inside because it was just too cold out there.
And thats a relatively harmless example.
I don't really miss having a mother.
I don't know what it would mean to me to have had a mother that cared for me.
I missed my dad when he left, though.
