I hate her... it might sound childish but why could I not have a normal parent? It just makes me so bitter and full of despair.

Don't despair, honey. I also had a mom with a cluster**** of personality disorders. I'm 38 now, rarely speak with her, have a career and family of my own, and
life is beautiful despite her.
Use her dysfunction to make yourself be the kind of human being you want to be. And find maternal figures where you can - a boss or teacher, etc. Most of all, give yourself the functional love you never got. I will never have the mom I needed and deserved and wanted. But I am now at the point where I simply feel sorry for her, and it is all OK without a mom.
Hugs to you, hon.
