B's first intro had her bonding with H over their mothers. I think she's reproducing that same micro-managing, hectoring psychodrama she grew up with. H's mother coddled him, but he let her, and they knew it. B's mother was a different order of control.
Yeah, that idea of keeping people broken so you look better is something I think applies very seriously to Leonard's early relationship with Sheldon. He's reproducing and projecting his issues about a lifetime of (maternal) emotional distance and negotiation, and punishing the person he can get in his power.
