Work Text:
"Was I really too hard on my daughter? Look I know she despises me as hate is such a very hard word. Too strong! Yes I had a job to do to make sure Mickey wasn't corrupt.
Deep down I knew she wasn't corrupt and forcing her into working with her wayward estranged father and my former husband/lover as Wes despise me even more.
Forcing him to work with Mickey and take down even bigger fish when Mickey didn't know that her father who swore he would stay clean and never turn to crime again, only to go back on his promise and word.
She had very little to no choice but to arrest him. I am not at all sympathetic and my own bosses in DC, were very heavy handed in not giving any leeway to her.
Even worse now that her DEA, my subordinate and Mickey's former now deceased boyfriend Alec was corrupt and even she seemed really shocked until the very end.
I hated the fact I had little to no choice but to be hard on her and now finding out by Wes among all people, that I was her mom.
She doesn't want to hear it possibly on why I am where I am at the Deputy Director but it was for her own safety and own independence she find her own way.
To her, Maria Fox is no longer living but "dead" to her. Really I despise myself for putting her through that. Not having a stable home life.
Kudos to her in finding her own way but sadly she was telling the truth and she has so much anger towards me as don't blame her.
Need her to work with the DEA, myself, and Wes to take down the cartel but really need to make her understand that she was never the enemy but had to make sure that she was cleared as she had so much to run a town and take care of her own family.
It is not I was not sympathetic towards her own wayward daughter but still, she resents me. But need to gain trust as know she doesn't trust me.
Hated to threaten her to work with Wes and my own bosses force me to do it or they would reveal my own betrayal to the world.
I was never a good mom or a good wife but trying in a way to make up for it as the Deputy Director.
Now need to get Mickey to trust me not just to take down the cartel and help her understand what was at stake.
But now.....as a mom! Hopefully will get to know her not just professionally but personally!"
