At the end of your post you asked if anyone could point you in the right direction regarding "what these are symptoms of". I presume by this you meant the behaviors your mother displays. I'm not a mental health professional. Plus we here on PC cannot offer mental health diagnoses. However, I suppose the first thing that would come to mind would be narcissism. But, of course, this is simply a lay-person's take on what you wrote. However here are links to 5 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of the narcissistic mother plus a link to a blog on the knotted mother / daughter relationship which will have some relevant articles within it:
The Narcissistic Mother: One of the Most Frightening of All Personalities
Narcissistic Mothers
5 (Subtle) Signs Your Mother Is a Covert Narcissist
Behind the Mask: What the 'Good Daughter' of the Narcissistic Mother Would Tell You if She Could
Narcissistic Mothers: The Long-Term Effects on Their Daughters

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
Good post
