Parental failings across generations is an issue I don't think gets addressed enough. With community more generally unraveling in the modern world, the role of parental guidance becomes ever more important, but there's a lot of families that aren't offering good advice to their offspring. That failure in duty is wreaking havoc on so many levels, even in good stable nuclear families that you think are doing everything right.
In this case, the failings were mostly her mother's. Her (step)dad was an excellent man, role model, wonderful guy... and her mom divorced him because he sided with family members who scolded mom and daughter for getting drunk at a holiday meal.
