Stripping layers

"Glynn!" 

Mrs Mia was shocked and speechless when she heard the words of her daughter. This was how her daughter thought of her? All she wanted was to help her foolish daughter see reason. She could marry anyone in the city; why did she have to choose a pauper

She glared at her daughter and asked her, "Do you even know what you are saying? You are accusing me of something so horrendous when all I have done was to look out for you and make sure that no man would take advantage of you?" 

"That no one would harm you. I did what a good mother should do." 

Glynn curled her lips. She couldn't help but blurt out, "You looking out for me? Mother, if there is anyone from whom I need to be protected, it's you." Glynn pointed to her with both hands as she said to her mother with tears streaming down her eyes, "... You locked me up in that punishment room you built for me. You made me write things that no one would ever say to their child."
