Or maybe your mother used to nag the hell out of you. It got under your nerves so much, and as soon as you could you moved out. The relationship continued to be contentious, but even in your darkest moments when you felt so alone, your mother was the only person who continued to call you. She died years ago, and while you’re still mourning the loss of the only person who truly understood you, you’re grateful that some of her “annoying” traits live on through you. In a way, it’s like she’s still with you and always will be.
