He Might Not Have Turned Out This Way

Her father's words made Aviana think of how her mother never really intervened in the past no matter what happened.

This was the reason?

Though she knew that her mother cared for her, she always found it hard to open up to her because of how she always ignored everything that happened. In her opinion, her mother never really pay attention to her struggles and only thought of what her father thought.

At times, she even used to think that her mother was afraid of her father. She rarely interfered in what her father did after all.

Nevertheless, it turned out that there was a reason behind it and the realization made Aviana think of how hard it must have been for her mother during all those years. Unable to say anything even when she was misunderstood and not in a situation to explain herself no matter how much she wanted... it must be so hard to live that way!
