On parental estrangement:
When the Missing Reasons Aren't Missing
Pay attention to the mothers' character (technically, lack thereof) rather than just analyzing some vague pattern of abuse. Notice that it basically comes down to 1. the daughter is far more mature than the mother and 2. even though the daughter is financially independent, the mother has enough money to blow it on gifts for someone who doesn't want them at all and try to use them to pull strings.
So, if you are in an "estranged" situation, it doesn't seem proper to attribute it to simple misfortune or parents being narcissists or the like. It is a moral issue and reflection on society, and as long as you're not petty and resentful you're the good guy. Try to have good relationships with your grandparents/relatives (since this isn't about some sort of "hereditary mental illness" like schizophrenia that's fairly amoral) or a wider community. The issue is "my parents are big babies who like their money more than me" not "my parents have mental health issues" (even if they might also, low stress tolerance often leads to that) so no major stigma and nothing creepily unexplained.
