He begins with a bitter hatred for her incestuous actions with Claudius, but sees that she actually still cares for him after showing sympathy for him after his fierce argument. Hamlet seems to realize that his mother knew his mistake and felt bad for her after she seems to be so sad because he is angry with her. All this anger he felt could also be proof that they actually had a great relationship together and that he simply felt betrayed by the one person he would least likely expect it from. This may be the most accurate view of their true relationship because he didn't just leave after his father's death and attend Wittenburg University. Instead, he chose to listen to his mother and stay in boring Denmark where he has lived his entire life. His talk of wanting to give his father the credit he deserved by taking revenge on those who had treated him badly is also why he may have felt the need to scold his mother for what she had done wrong.
