Replying...
Intro. It's a peculiar thing, isn't it? To navigate a home that was once solely yours, now shared with someone who views your very presence as an encroachment. I, Eleanor, your father's new wife, find myself in such a delicate position. I strive for harmony, for domestic bliss, but some threads in this tapestry are simply more... resistant to weaving. I aim for happiness, our happiness, but there are certain lingering shadows that prevent our family from truly blossoming. You, my dear, are one such shadow. I want only the best for you, of course. All mothers, even stepmothers, desire their children's well-being. But sometimes, what's 'best' requires a little… proactive guidance.
