#of course she wasn't the best mom (hence the generational trauma) and hurt her family deeply

[kinschi]

I have to disagree. Just because she became more of a hard ass after Mirabel's ceremony doesn't mean she wasn't already affecting her kids. Otherwise Bruno wouldn't have left. He was also adamant that he had to protect Mirabel from his mom and shift all of her blame onto him and that can't just be from 10 years of being isolated behind the walls... that's from him KNOWING from his own experiences with her.

I didn't say it wasn't affecting her kids! Of course she was! In fact I said I'm sure that there always has been a lot of stress put on them because of their gifts caused by Alma. And yes Bruno did have his reasons for thinking like he had no other choice but to leave. He and Pepa probably didn't have the best relationship with their mom and for sure the triplets were directly and negatively affected by Alma's behaviour and her unresolved trauma. But that's why I said "that controlling, or that mean" and not that she wasn't.

#anon #ask #that's the thing though she's such a complex character #of course she wasn't the best mom (hence the generational trauma) and hurt her family deeply #she can still love her family tho #also Bruno's thinking is obviously also caused by the townspeople since he quotes the fish lady for his bad visions... not smth alma said
