Like, David mindslaved her and basically wrapped her around his finger

That is pure speculation. I don't think we see him doing anything other than make her fall asleep, she willingly helps him.

I think it was a good ending, and the only one really possible. David did some bad things, but there are a whole lot of people who are also responsible for the way he turned out. His parents for abandoning him, Farouk who was a parasite in his head for years, Syd and the others who used him for his powers and then turned on him when he cracked.

Here's a good, high-quality version of the "Mother" cover by Dan Stevens (there's a slight hitch at ~5:03, but otherwise, its perfect).

One thing I will never forget about this show is the way they selected their music choices. They were stellar through the entire series, and the cover interpretations were universally both good and unique takes on the original material.

And here's "Peace, Love and Understanding"

I also really enjoyed the cover version of Cornflake girl.

I think the main point was that a child who grows up in a healthy environment with proper support is likely to turn out different than one who does not.

Nothing about "Mother" implies this is going to be a healthy environment though.

Mother implies the kind of environment David would grow up in if his mother was the only one around. That is why it is important that Xavier also sticks around.
