Narcissistic? Or codependent? I could easily see an argument for codependency -- a dysfunctional psychological compulsion to have someone dependent on her. This would mean (in her own mind) she HAS to be the one to do all of the work of taking care of you, because (in her own mind) you're still a child and she's still your caretaker so of course all of these things are what you would expect from a parent. She never moved on from being 14-year-old Tiva's mom.

This is of course me being an armchair shrink, so I'm not second-guessing your psychiatrist, but it's another perspective to think about if it makes sense; it might help you understand her way of thinking.
