Is it still life:Her Quest for Identity

Is it still life? Her Quest for Identity.

Tis' stilled life
This still life
Distilled wife
Still - That's life
Mime wife. 



"Playing dumb while acting the role." 
The unspoken influence of mothers on their daughters. 
My mother in her work environment, and my mother at home were two completely "different" personalities. At work, I saw her happy and bubbly, extrovert, chatty, friends with many. 
At home she was subdued, walked on eggshells, kept us quiet while my father was at home. I understood: better to keep quiet, than be beaten. I'm breaking my silence, not hers. :))
