Your focus card for this relationship relationship between you and your mother is the Five of Wands. The 5s of any of the four Tarot suits are often thought to be associated with yet another card called simply The Hierophant. The Hierophant represents a teacher, counsellor, or priest. Someone who wisely advises you and on whom you can always depend when the going gets tough. I similarly feel that there is a very close, loving and mutually supportive relationship between you and your mother during this lifetime that could possibly have it's roots in past lives you have formerly shared.
Although she is your parent, this is largely a relationship of equals, with each person being able to contribute their own strengths towards helping the other. What it be going to the extreme to say that your mother serves as a rock onto which you have often held for dear life when the stormy seas of life threaten to engulf you? She has and continues to act as an anchor which prevents you from being swept first this way and next in a completely different random direction. Although you have had your differences of opinion, it is as though you each represent the complementary characteristics of the other member of this working pair.
The Five of Wands has always been associated in my mind with competition and attempting to gain the upper hand within your relationship, but to be honest I feel no sense whatsoever of this with reference to how your mother and yourself relate to each other. I do agree with you that it is very likely that you have both known each other during past lifetimes (as you are so similar in many respects that you might find yourself completing the other's sentences at times).
This I feel very unlikely to be exactly the same relationship as you have with your mother now - where she was the mother and you were her daughter, as you are in this current lifetime. It is much more probable that the roles were completely reversed, or that you were more distantly related than you are at present - for example she could have been one of your more distant relatives in the past, and you her's.
As spiritual beings we often learn our most valuable lessons from first hand experience. To truly learn what it is like to be a mother or daughter, it is often useful to see the relationship as if through the other person's eyes some times. To fully learn to be human, we need to practise all the many and varied roles and relationships which can potentially exist between two individuals in order to fully appreciate what being each is like. I consequently feel that you have known the spirit entity who has been chosen to be your mother during this present incarnation, but that you have each adopted very different types of relationships with the other over those hundreds or thousands of past lives.
In some form, I feel that your spiritual paths as individuals will always run closely parallel to one another, in upcoming future lifetimes as they have often done before. Cherish and treasure the happy times you have to spend together in this current life, but once your mother's time on Earth is finally at an end it will be more of a case of see you again during yet another Earthly lifetime, rather than it being a permanent parting of your ways.
