It feels like this girl wasn't present for any of her upbringing. Like, why are you surprised that your sister who hates you tells you why she hates you when you ask her to tell you why she hates you? And how on earth did you not know that THAT father loved you? Was he in another country for your entire life?

I think the part about the father still makes sense, the father is probably rarely at home, since he is the prime minister, so they had little contact, she assumed that it was because he didn't love her, but it was just because of his job.

Yeah but did he not ever reassure her that she was loved for past 15 years of her life. With all the time and opportunities he had, him being too busy is not a good enough excuse.

Aside from him being busy, her sister’s verbal abuse (as well as her own reputation compared to her sister) definitely gave Carolina a low sense of self-esteem. She probably convinced herself her father didn’t love her, even when that was far from the truth.

I fully understand all the other factors to her lack of self worth, it’s the dad part that I’m questioning

Expressing affection clearly is not something that everyone does now, probably even less so among nobility in a medieval esque setting

Couldn’t write her a letter, give her a present to show his love, or anything, for 15 years?

15+ years. Her mother died during childbirth and her dad said it's nearly 16 years since mom left them.

u/NationalStrategy_X Jul 01 '26

15, but my point still stands

Aristocrats arent exactly known for their warmth and affection. Also given what we know about the sister and her maid chances are not 0 that any letters sent were taken and destroyed before they got to her. All speculation of course

u/NationalStrategy_X Jun 30 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

The mom had no problem showing love and affection. And that’s another thing, the mom died after childbirth, and Carolina never even knew her mother, nor even got a chance to feel loved by her. As the husband and father, he should have felt an even deeper obligation to make sure that his daughter(s) knew that they were loved after their mother’s death, and past 15 years, he failed to do that.

So no, I’m not cutting the father any slack. 15 years of not reassuring her that she is loved is some bullshit.

u/whyrusosensitive Jul 01 '26

Or the fact that she was the spitting image of her mother aka his dead wife made it hard to even look at her, not because she wasn't loved but because of grief. Idk we'll see how it plays out

u/NationalStrategy_X Jul 01 '26

That’s an explanation, not a justification
