I never thought of it that way. I'll have to consider it.
I think I've always considered it a manifestation of her will. My mother has a stronger will than anyone I've ever come in close contact with. I daresay there are people who have moved history with as much will as my mother.
That can be a good thing. If you want something done, my mother is the best possible person to rely on. Her will can move mountains. But on a day to day basis, the negative side of it is more apparent.
When she was so sick and frail a few months ago, I told my therapist that my mother's will is the kind of thing that moves the sun. And that it was as inconceivable that her will would fail as that the sun would stop coming up in the morning.
I guess I always see her passing acquaintance with reality as part of that. If she can't manage to bend the real world to her will, she'll simply "change" what really happened.
In certain circumstances, I daresay this characteristic is invaluable. It would definitely serve the pioneer woman setting off to face an uncertain future and tame the untamed. My husband used to gape at the heavy weights she could move. It never occurred to her that she couldn't move anything she wished to move.
