Her Mother I think hasn't done her any harm, I think that she perhaps made her what she is today and helped mould her to become a writer, it may have been a dysfunctional upbringing but it obvioulsy wasn't too crippling - she seems very happy and has a love of words and literature - she is not depressed, at least doesn't show it and actually seems to have fond memories of her Mother!
I think a majority of it is Nurture!
