I get your drift here, but mother seems rather detached or distant with Haley. If she felt
that strongly I would've expected a more gushing reaction to her daughter's return, whereas the son seems to get all the attention.
I've only had the "joy" of parenting a son for 20-some years, and whilst not smooth sailing, I can't imagine how much more difficult a daughter would have been. (I'd have had to be better at hiding F95 that's for sure
)
Also, parents talk - mother would tell father, father would've done what puppy want's to do. Regardless of the gender, you are highly protective of your kids. If they are wronged you want to make it right. You HAVE to make it right. Not just for them either. Some fucker has made a fool of you, every breath they take is taunting you that you failed to protect your kids and that
can not will not be tolerated.
Probably a good job I don't have a daughter - any potential suitor would be mentally scarred
