: How does one grow a backbone when for 10 years of your life, you have been abused so many times that your mental state is severely affected? There is no literal way for her to stand up for herself when her family blames her for existing and causing the Duchess' death allegedly. False accusation just to make her feel lesser than human and find no real support until the ML came in to save her from misery and show her what real love looks like, of course slowly.
Olivia and her situation is painfully realistic for those who has been abused to the point, the slightest bit of accusation towards her makes her fear she did something wrong.
The Duchess, while betrayed by her husband who brought a child in from another woman, was slowly ready to welcome in the child because she saw the child did absolutely nothing wrong. She saw Olivia was already being abused in her own household and she wasn't having it. She decided to divorce her husband and most likely take her children with her after getting settled with her parents. Unfortunately, that never happened.
Now Olivia's father... he has his faults but according to spoilers, he was taken advantaged of by Liv's mother and blackmailed into having the child. He was right to be angry but now that his r*pist died, his anger redirected to his child, even stronger when his Duchess died. He could have just sent the child to the orphanage or given her to a new family, but no. He much rather let the poor girl suffer for her bio mom's mistakes.
