Why does my cat hate my mother?

I have a 2 yr old cat that I have had since he was 2 wks old. He came in at the local animal shelter I worked at and I took him and his 3 other litter mates in and raised them. This included bottle feeding. My mom helped me out with the kittens, she would play with & sit with and bottle feed them. Last year he started being aggressive with my mom. He would growl at her but we just dismissed it because a few minutes later he would be rubbing against her. One day he was growling and meowing and hissing at her not letting her out of the bathroom, I had to go pick him up so she could.I just recently moved back in with my parents and he attacked my mother scratching her leg the other day. I'm looking for any help I can get. Last resort is rehoming him because I cant live alone right now. Which would absolutely kill me. I love this cat. Please let me know of similar experiences or answers. thanks!!
