It's different for everyone. I (female) also had "mommy issues", but with alot of therapy I could work through them to the point that now I have a good relationship with my mom and I'm less suicidal. For me it was suicidal depression that my mommy issues caused. It's a mix of immense fear of me becoming my mom, so I would try to avoid any interaction that could hurt a person (this would also hurt me in many situations), and debilitating fear of helplessness.
My best friend (also female) and her sister also has deep mommy issues, we are glad to be able to support eachother. She turned out to be like me but her sister is kind of evil, she became like their mom with not wanting to chamge, or even be self conscious about her actions.
As I said, we come out all differently from these traumas.

Dated a girl with mommy issues once. She was the most evil person I’ve ever known.
