what was life like for petra and the girls when rafael was in prison ?

the girls were a little bit young to remember anything, but it was definitely a challenge for petra trying to juggle singularly running the hotel and keeping it afloat as well as raising the twins all by herself. it was incredibly hectic for petra, especially with the girls still being so young and in constant need of attention. and while petra had nannies to help her out, she never wanted to leave them alone with them for too long because between her postpartum depression and the twins not recognizing her after the three months that she was paralyzed, she has this sort of, rooted fear that if she’s not consistently present in their life, they’d forget her / similar. and apart from that, she also had to deal with personal issues that she had from all her trauma, so she also had to go to therapy regularly, and so yeah. it was definitely a lot. sometimes it felt like more than she can handle on her own, for sure. but petra’s not really the type to let herself be defeated by her circumstances, and whenever she felt extremely exhausted or stressed or when things felt like too much, she’d remind herself of why she’s doing all of this, which is her daughters and let that motivate her. whether that’s being the best mother she can be, because she always wants them to feel loved, or doing everything she can with the hotel because she never wants them to ever struggle financially, or working on herself also so that she can be in a better position to care for the kids.
