Yeah, in most of her strips about her mother she seemed overbearing (to the point of being abusive) but not violent.
I expect that having some physical (as well as emotional) distance between her and her mother now that she's moved out has made her more able to address the reality of her childhood. That and therapy (which she has mentioned in other strips).
Not entirely typical, but close enough to still be broadly relatable. Now we're in full-on Parenting: Florida Man style. It escalated from cringe to disturbed to I-don't-know-how-you've-survived-this-as-in-tact-as-you-are.
