Tina snuck into the doorway of the kitchen, seeing her father berate her mother, who just sat there with a tired, dejected look on her face. It was never very clear what her father yelled about, but today he seemed to think her mom wasn't supporting him enough. He just screamed and screamed about how she was holding him back and not letting him get ahead and was judging him too hard. Tina's mom only nodded and kept her head down, taking all the abuse without a word. Tina's dad had a beer in his hand, and when he finished with that, he slammed it down on the counter with a hard thud and went into the garage.
Tina saw some tears stream down her mother's face, at which point she came into the kitchen. Seeing her daughter, Tina's mom immediately looked up and gave her a big smile, quickly wiping the tears from her face.
"Hey there Tina, I didn't hear you come in!"
"Mom..." Tina whispered, with only one thought on her mind.
