The whole mother hates me thing is so dumb. So in Naruto, there's a character named Gaara whose mother died in childbirth(complications due to his dad put a demon inside him before he was born.) Gaara's Uncle is the only one who ever showed him love. He then attempts to assassinate Gaara, who's like 5 years old maybe, and Gaara fatally wounds him. He explains he did it because he hates him for killing his sister, and his sister also hated him. That's why she named him Gaara, a demon that loves only itself. Fast forward, Gaara is the commander in a war and is fighting his father who was brought back to life as an undead super weapon (don't worry about it) His father then tells him after seeing the glorious and beloved leader his son has become, that his mother loved him so dearly she infused it into every grain of sand. Sand automatically shields Gaara when he is attacked, even if he tries to cut himself, it has since birth and he assumed this was the sand demon's power. His father explains it's his mother's will, as she loved him. This revelation strikes Gaara's core and the added imagery in the scene really makes it work. THAT is how you write this properly, not "oh my mom died in a strange place, she must've HATED me. Oh no, she didn't, she just had a reason for being in a strange place. Yay."
