…potential Mom and Maggie reconciliation (or start of)? …maybe? (Still a bit scared)

Beetle beast

I don’t think she crazy enough to throw Maggie out during Christmas

Shouldn't this one be "No. 328", as there were two different strips in a row before it that were both called "No. 326"?

The fact that Maggie was afraid of getting thrown out again after her mother's breakdown is heartbreaking and shows how traumatic that whole experience was for her. Her mother's reaction to the scrapbook and lack of reaction to Maggie being home is perhaps a sign that, after the summer ordeal, she may have had time to think and properly digest the gravity of her actions. It is probably too soon to say, but I think it could explain the sudden decision to put Maggie in the hospital. I am very interested to see where this goes.

What do you mean "she may have had time to think (...)" and "lack of reaction to Maggie being home" ? Because, if she had time to thing about it and realized it was horrible and felt guilt, wouldn't she apologize instead of not reacting ? Or in your mind, is it logical that "well, she decided after realizing her actions were horrible, to just... Ignore Maggie instead of being horrible again" ?... I don't know, when my mom was abusive, and... Like, there wasn't any reaction later... I was like. Oh, okay. So it wasn't a big deal for you then. Don't look... Guilty of... Scared or sad ? Nothing ? Just like nothing happened ? (Which is why I don't understand your comment) :< Could you explain please ? I'm lost...

... Hm...? I actually think that on the contrary, it might not happen a second time. But if the earlier situation happened NOW during Christmas... A similar outcome could have happened. I doubt she would do it AGAIN on Christmas. But I think she would have done it (first time) on Christmas. Does that make sense ?

I'm kinda sad at the lack of... Support... :( From the rest of the family. While they aren't showing the same abuse toward Maggie, of course... They seem aware of the... Just outright life-threatening dangers she was put in by her mom. It hits too close to home when you feel like the outcast in your family. Yes, they give you love. But... For me it's not enough to not also Support and protect as well... I know they're ALSO unfortunately probably receivers of the abuse, in different ways. But it won't be the same as the abuse toward Maggie. A lot of relationships like these happen between moms and daughters for various reasons. The mother is also a victim of "charge mentale" (forgot the English word) and her own traumatic experiences and upbringing, as well as misogyny... But... The fact that the person who currently*** seems to receive it the most from her is the daughter... Huff. It's a lot...

My thought process was that previously on 320, Maggie had said that she hadn't been approached by her mother about the situation since she got home, and her mother's sudden breakdown was unusual; I was thinking that Maggie's experience of being kicked out may have affected her deeply, and the lack of reaction was due to her mother being unsure how to approach Maggie regarding it.
