She's had a bad history with mothers (her own was kind of a negligent rich horror who abandoned her to government torture, and her maternal figures that grew out of relationships in Taxon left which kind of stung like even moar abandonment) (sob she has issues), and the fact that Kate is glitched into this role for River makes her super extra wary. HOWEVER she is actually good at it, which is new and exciting. Thus, confusion.
