Don't wanna go home~

Family.

They're not involved hugely in teen shows. And when they are, they're perfect, sweet mothers and bossy, dominant fathers. Or the other way around lol.

I've mentioned on numerous occasions about Amilia's hatred for her mom. So I started to ask myself 'why does she hate her so much?'
The original idea was that her mom bosses her around, tells her she's worthless etc. which makes sense as to why Amilia's so degrading of herself, and thinks she can't do anything right. That all works out, I believe. But a few months ago I added some extra dimensions to her 'family life'.

Kaprica (her mom) has some kind of disability or illness, still contemplating, that makes her a bit immobile. She can walk, just not much. Kaprica exaggerates however, and makes Amilia do literally everything for her, when her husband's at work anyway.

Kaprica Rayzire info

I'm still developing Kaprica, but I know she smokes 20-30 cigarettes a day, and has done since she was 13. She has a history of drug abuse and has known a looot of criminals in her younger years. She was simply a troublemaker and hung around with gangs everywhere.
She met her husband, Alexander or Al, through her drug connections when she was 18 and he was 25. They bonded quickly and soon she was up le duff. Making her 32 and him 39 now?
She never wanted kids and despised them, she wanted to be free of responsibilities and just continue killing herself with drugs. Ho yeah.
She soon decided to give the baby up for adoption when she had her. Al, however, didn't want to, as he was also orphaned at a young age. Kaprica and him were obviously very different, so split up after she gave birth. He took Amilia to raise on his own.

After 9 glorious years of just Amilia and her dad, (going fishing, having fun, being perfect), her mom gets back in touch, claiming she's ready to raise a child, and that she's a changed person, having gotten help for her drug taking and drinking and God knows what else.
Amilia's overjoyed to be 'getting a mom' at first. Until she realizes what a nasty mom she is. Al's curious as to why she's come back to him, but all she claims is he's the 'one' for her. And that every other man she'd been with was a jerk, she's better off with a loving husband, like Al.

So yeah, pretty much it.
I'd say they're a happy family, but they're... kinda not. Haha.

• Al's had numerous jobs, but he loves working and being in different places. Plus they have lots of debts, so he has to.  
• Kaprica's still quite mean and selfish, bossing Amilia around like Cinderella most the day. She receives various help for her previous addictions and medical needs.
• Amilia wishes her mom would try do more for herself, knowing she's just lazy and taking advantage of everyone, due to her health problems.
• Al is a dedicated man, who's seen sides of Kaprica he wishes she still showed. He cares for her now and simply wants Amilia to be happy, which she isn't, so yay.
• Amilia still loves going fishing with her dad, when he has time and they're more used to it being just them. Her mom is now the annoying thing in the middle, so to speak.
• Either way, they wont be getting rid of Kaprica anytime soon. One of Al's suspicions is that Kaprica doesn't want to have responsibilities, so tracked them down and made herself at home. Lololololol.
