The speaker felt embarrassed because she was overweight (140 pounds at 5'5"), making her neck short and thick, which she believed made the necklace look unattractive. Additionally, she sensed the salespeople's judgmental looks, which heightened her discomfort.
Tension arose because the mother believed her husband should share his finances with her daughter, and by extension, with her. She was dissatisfied when he refused to let her manage his money, leading to frequent conflicts and accusations of him being uncooperative.
The mother was upset and demanded that the speaker force her husband's brother and sister-in-law to leave, believing they were taking advantage of her daughter's resources. She even went to the husband's workplace to accuse them of stealing business opportunities.
The mother was hospitalized after a physical altercation with the speaker's husband. She claimed he hit her, but he explained that she had tried to push him down the stairs and accidentally hit her head on a stair edge. The incident resulted in her needing stitches.
The mother refused to take medication because she did not believe she had any mental health issues. Despite being diagnosed with moderate anxiety and depression, she dismissed the diagnosis and resisted treatment, often stopping her blood pressure medication as well.
The speaker grew up witnessing frequent violent fights between her parents, which often left her scared and emotionally scarred. She recalled instances where her mother would physically attack her father, and neither parent seemed concerned about the impact on her.
The speaker's husband showed care by preparing nutritious meals, such as turtle soup, for her father during his hospitalization. This thoughtful gesture highlighted his attentiveness and support, contrasting with the speaker's self-described lack of initiative in caregiving.
The mother had a risky attitude toward finances, often lending money to unreliable acquaintances in hopes of high returns. This behavior led to significant financial losses, as she frequently lost both the principal and interest on these loans.
