The FL’s mom is extremely annoying and toxic. The rest of her family is so supportive, but all that support goes nowhere with how stifling and controlling her own mother is. It makes me wonder how this woman is even related to them or why the FL’s dad even married her. I despise overbearing and controlling parental figures like this in stories. With how that horrid woman raised the FL, it’s no surprise she’s grown to be ashamed of and fear letting others know her not-so-secret job. The worst part is that I get the feeling we’re most likely going to get her tragic backstory followed by a very rushed redemption arc for her character to act as a poorly done patch job to excuse the mother’s behavior and overwrite/erase the FL’s deeply rooted trauma caused by her mom’s actions.
