I'm not exactly sure exactly which incident you are referring to. I thought it was her mother's general cold and calculating ambivalence.

“ She doesn’t understand me. Whenever I try to explain my views on life to her she asks me if I’m constipated...I can’t help it. I only told the truth. I didn’t want her here... Oh, Pim, I was horrible, wasn’t I? And the worst of it is, I can stand off and look at myself doing it and know it’s cruel and yet I can’t stop doing it. What’ the matter with me? Tell me. Don’t say it’s just a phase! Help me.”
