Well, we don’t know the entire situation yet and it’s hard to assume everything is what it seems. I admit that the scene with Kaneki and his mom was a very heavy and painful one but we still have to consider the other scenes Ishida-sensei has shown us.

There’s a possibility that Kaneki’s mom was stressed with everything. Losing her husband, juggling multiple jobs, having to support her sister (Kaneki’s aunt), having to take care of a child, etc. and Kaneki was just unfortunate to receive that stress.

I’m not here to defend Kaneki’s mom but I’m sure she also had times where she was nice. She taught Kaneki how to read and took care of him regardless. She allowed Kaneki education and worked hard enough until to the point of overworking.

I’m sure she loved her son but the stress and everything else got the better of her. I think I’ve read somewhere that Kaneki’s mom might’ve had a mental illness but I can’t say much about that either.
