Warning for bad family relationships and aforementioned toxic relationships.
[name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] [name_f]Saige[/name_f] [Silva] Seaman (61) is Paigeâs mother, also the mother of The Infamous, though she promises never to actually call her son this. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] feels her son was everything she wished sheâd avoid â but also senses itâs her fault in a way. Sheâs his mother, not to mention, a lot of his negative qualities came from her side of the family. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] jokes about how embarrassing her last name is, but when asked why she took it, she says she was gonna have âa dozen little sailorsâ. Obviously she wouldnât want a dozen children, preferring a respectable two, even though sometimes she secretly doesnât find her sonâs behaviour respectable. Admittedly, he handled his last name better than she did, not being embarrassed and thinking, âI donât care, thatâs our family nameâ. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] had a bad relationship with some of the Silvas and knew this is why she couldnât stay a [name_f]Silva[/name_f], but wishes she had the nerve to cut them off. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] couldnât imagine cutting off family and lived a life of people telling her, âyou just donât do that.â This compelled her to pursue social science, something sheâs glad she at least got from her unpleasant family, and currently teaches this now.
Paigeâs name is based from her middle name, which she feels is good enough representation of her name. She wasnât the type to make a [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] [name_m]Junior[/name_m] or force [name_f]Silva[/name_f] somewhere. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] did eventually distance herself from them before her children became adults, though her son still likes their mentality, finding [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] âtoo passiveâ. Which she is in this case, not knowing whether or not to let her son be with his relationship with them. Heâs an adult and can make his own choices, and it would feel hypocritical to try and control him when sheâs against his controlling ways. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] has always been close to [name_f]Paige[/name_f]. Sometimes she worried that she was too favouring towards her now, especially since she had been very accommodating in the past. She knew [name_f]Paige[/name_f] needed this to accommodate her ADHD but also didnât want to make her son feel like nothing was ever about him. [name_m]Truth[/name_m] is, [name_f]Paige[/name_f] wasnât âbrokenâ by any means and her parents knew and wouldnât treat her as such, but no matter how they tried to even the odds, her brother was never happy. He never tried to be outwardly ableist, but he often pushed for something and never said what it was, and make her feel bad for not getting it. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] always felt bad, especially during a time [name_f]Paige[/name_f] was doing great in school, but didnât want her brother there to celebrate. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] wishes now she just complied with Paigeâs request, because she knew how difficult it was for [name_f]Paige[/name_f] to ask that, and she could have just sent him to do something with a friend or anything heâd rather do anyway.
She has been there at all the weddings her children had. Deep down, despite her worries about how the Bonovitos will reconnect with her and her husband, sheâs glad [name_f]Paige[/name_f] is happier where she is. She and her husband know that Mr. Bonovito and their daughter are happy too. [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] couldnât say anything bad about any of her grandchildren, avoiding comparisons just because her son does. She hates to admit it but will for the sake of both [name_f]Angeliki[/name_f] and [name_f]Wendy[/name_f]: she sees herself in both of them. [name_f]Angeliki[/name_f], because she held on and married despite this never fixing their problems, much like [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f] didnât have the guts to cut off certain relatives. But also [name_f]Wendy[/name_f], because [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] hasnât had the best relationship with her shaming mother and felt secure with her husband seeing her as a perfect wife for him. But unlike [name_f]Jessabel[/name_f], whoâs on cloud nine with her husband, she knows itâs sadly not the same for [name_f]Wendy[/name_f]. One day heâll find something about her life path heâll disdain, and heâll treat her as an inferior for it. Heck, with his silence, he may already have a disdain somewhere, and just simply choose not to tell her nowâŚ
