I don't think Alma can see it as abuse though. She has been steered into believing that her parents' way is the right way.
I totally ripped off the "beans in an enamel bowl, stained white the color of an old man’s dentures" from Andy! It's so funny that you pulled it out. I had remarked that it was one of my favorite metaphors he used in one of his fics. I don't even remember which fic it was from, since they are all deleted, and I'm sure I phrased it wrong, but it made me happy to use one of his phrases in my fic.
