WANDA's POV

Usually when my daughter and I have arguments, we spend a couple of hours apart before talking it over.

It's just a good way of allowing us both to calm down first and think about what we're gonna say.

So now that it's been an hour or so after disagreeing over something small that turned unnecessarily major, I walk over to her bedroom and since the door is already open, I walk straight in.

But I quickly turn my head away when I see that she's on her bed, journalling.

"Oh, shit, sorry. You're journalling, I'll leave you be for a while," I quickly get out, preparing to leave her room.

"Wait," she says, closing her journal and putting it down before patting the space beside her.

I slowly walk over and sit down next to her, where we spend about a minute in silence.

Until I speak up.

"I didn't appreciate the way you spoke to me earlier, when you... when you called me that rude name. You know that I'll never force you to apologize, but I would like it if you showed some remorse, if there is any."

Y/N sighs heavily, looking down in shame.

"Of course there's remorse," she tells me, still not making eye contact. "Look, I would never have usually said that to you. I was really angry and, not that it's an excuse, but I felt like I had to get some of that anger out somehow and stupidly, I decided to take it out on you instead of a different way. And I think that's partly because there were times in my childhood where you didn't really teach me how to regulate my anger."

Instead of replying right away, I wait and think for several seconds. I won't make excuses because even though I did try to teach to her regulate her anger, clearly she doesn't feel as if I've done it well enough.

"I suppose there were times when you were little where I couldn't always be emotionally there for you, and I'm sorry about that," I apologize, she nods.

"I did what I could," I continue, "And I guess as much as I thought I was being there for you, I wasn't focusing as much on your development mentally as I should've. But if you'll let me, I can still try and teach you the things that you feel like you can't navigate on your own. Next time if I'm pushing you too far, I need you to just set a boundary, okay? Because I won't push that."

After coming to the agreement that I'll do my best to help her through some stronger emotions, we hug and apologize deeply for what's happened between us.
