It’s easy for her to have been the best daughter when she’s dead and she can’t do anything her mother disapproves of so her mother can romanticize the memory of who she was :/
And boom! Right there. One of the cardinal rules of parenting- never pick favorites. While my mom never picked favorites, I have been told, “Why can you more like your brother?” Thankfully that stopped, but the kicker for me was when I made a huge mistake and feared telling my parents because I knew what their reactions would be, especially my mother’s. Well the truth did come out and my mom really blew up, more so because I never told her of my mistake. And I’ll never forget these words, “What I have done to fail as a mother?” Now at the time, I still wasn’t 100% in my right mind either since I was still depressed. I interpreted her words as, “Am I a failure than?” I would overcome this realizing I had to put myself first. My mother is your typical helicopter parent and she has gaslit me over the years too. Thankfully she’s not as bad as Abeille’s mom.
Abeille and Mallow: Evette was a wonderful woman who was kind and gentle and was a light in everyone’s life.
Amaryllis: she made me look good.
Just reading her words makes it sound so robotic. Even in Evette’s diary this woman was an overbearing presence.

Ah yes… there it is. (*sigh*). Poison in the well.
