You sound like my two sons (ages 20 -intj- and 19 -entp-). Raising children should not involve fulfilling the expectations of outsiders, but strengthening the intimate relationship you forge with them. I don't know if it was my parenting style that shaped their NTness, or if they were born with such personality, but I am glad I was able to raise two autonomous, respectful and thoughtful people.
It warms my heart that you think so highly of your mom.
