* The whole existence of the mother persona is one when you think about it. Norman grew up being abused and mistreated by his mother, with no friends or other companions he could confide in. Even if you ignore the sequels, he clearly grew up very lonely and unloved. So his murder was very much killing an AssholeVictim who tormented him so much - but he was so consumed by guilt at killing someone who richly deserved it that he let her take over his mind anyway.
** His speech to Marion about how his mother treats him underlines just how Norma's abuse affected him. He wants to sometimes "curse her and leave her forever", but stays by because she's an ill old woman who can't take care of herself. While his response to Marion suggesting he put her "some place" veers closer to NightmareFuel, his mother has him so controlled that giving her into the care of those who could handle her and treat her (thus ridding him of the responsibility) seems like AFateWorseThanDeath. Obviously TheReveal shows that this is not the true situation, but it's possible that's how he felt before her death.
** AlternateCharacterInterpretation here - what if his desire to "curse her and leave her forever" is what he ''wished'' he'd done. If he'd just left her and tried to set up a new life for himself, he might finally have been free of her. But he had to murder her and trap himself in this life.
