What's wrong with the mother?


Why does the mother in the film act so .. peculiar? Especially in the first few scenes, where she puts the tea in the microwave, and so on? What's wrong with her?

She’s married to a selfish pathetic abusing bastard. He’s mistreated her all her life and now she’s so miserable and unhappy, she is just in a stoned depressed state. Her husband was disgusting and shows everybody how wonderful he is, to the public but really he is a bastard
