What kind of mother can’t stand her own son?

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker asks in bewildered hurt what sort of parent finds their own child unbearable. The question carries both accusation and pain, treating a mother's rejection as something that ought to be unnatural. It reads as a plea for an explanation rather than a calm inquiry.
