In Sheldon's life, almost everybody around him has treated him either unfairly (given his age) or tried to take advantage of him (given his marvellous academic instincts). I was thinking who is yet to treat him fairly ever, and the answer as he himself so elegantly puts is his mother. The same can be said about his siblings to a decent degree, especially Missy. Sheldon is a very hard person to be around as an adult but it makes complete sense why he turned out to be like that, he never got a healthy guidance in his childhood at the degree with which he needed it. His mother, however dogmatic and insecure and imperfect, is the real hero of the story. She, however radically different is from Sheldon, is a responsible and empathetic mother to the best of her abilities. A real blessing in the kid's life.
