Elenor took care of the 'concerned about her whereabouts' issue - so that is off the table. 'Hate' is something you use and is a very strong word for what we have been presented with so far.
You are stereotyping both genders into the same behaviour where I stereotype each gender into their own - both is bad
If you have played the game then you should know these things.
1)Mother accused father of cheating when there was no proof and with her own "bestfriend" no less.
2)Mother has been cheating on the father and was caught red handed with someone the father knew.
3)Clearly left out the fact that she was cheating when she was telling her daughter was to why it did not work out between her and her father.And the fact that she got caught red handed riding a dick not slipped and fell on it no riding it as father explained.
4)Mother has custody if child and left far away from the father the next day after being caught cheating ( this here is done a fuck ton by mothers to avoid shared custody and there is no law so far that as proven one can not move to a different state, it is then up to the father to go over every weekend to god knows where to see said child, only after turning 18 can the children decide to see the father without the law being involved. This however also happens in those rare cases where fathers have the custody of the children. )
4)Where about have been cleared by having spoken to Elena but also has been made clear she was NOT happy about the fact her daughter was spending so much time with MC.
5) Before finding out they spend a lot of time together she NEVER bothered to even call him or check in on him or even ASK if daughter has arrived safely or how their day's went,She only decided to call AFTER she found out.
All that on the above applies HATE and SPITE so what you called "off the table" is pretty much in clear view ON the table like the ugliest vase you can pretty much come to imagen.
Someone who has no hate or spite or ill feelings,
Would NEVER have submitted to petty actions that the mother pulled.I have not stereotyped gender, as I clearly have stated my opinion clearly on what we have seen heard and spoken off by both the daughter and the father and to some extent the extra's about the mother,I clearly hereby am only judging the mother not females in general but MC his ex wife and Daughters mother.
So that she would make her presence known by these facts alone is not strange and to that end it would also close in the loose ends and if needed bring out the full truth, because she KNOWS what she has left out in her story so out of desperation she will do stupid things, which is still falls under being Human even though she is a lying person.
