Like. Kyrie telling Eva that the only reason she had (another) child was to keep Rudolph around and cement her place in his family. Kyrie's motherhood complex re: Battler. Eva knowing she can't be the family head but finding a way for her son to be considered, even if it means putting so much pressure on him. Eva locking Ange in a cage of a school and not leaving her a single cent. Natsuhi killing the baby out of desperation. Natsuhi imagining that she's important over and over and over and knowing all along that before she was a mother to Jessica she killed a baby that wasn't hers. Rosa keeping up appearances at all costs even if it means punishing Maria for her childishness, Rosa blaming Maria for her difficulties in love because Maria's father left her alone, Rosa leaving Maria behind at home... Mothers all around grappling for some semblance of importance in the misogynistic structure of the Ushiromiyas. Mothers who blame their children or project onto their children or use their children. Mothers who wanted to be mothers and mothers who didn't want to be mothers and women who can't help but mistreat their children as a reflection of the myriad of ways they themselves have been mistreated.
