#I thought my mother didn't care because I was a born athlete and autistic

Do you think Ursa really loved Azula?

Yes, I think Ursa loved Azula.

But it's actually complicated, because of all the shit and Ozai, blah, blah, blah.

I firmly believe that parents are not prepared for a prodigy or different child, no matter how much they informed or prepared.

Azula is a different girl from the others, she is a genius prodigy (Maybe neurodivergent or just her upbringing makes her different??) and Ursa really isn't ready for something like that.

Maybe that's why he was negligent or just didn't care that much about raising her, maybe he thought Azula could handle it on her own because of how independent she is?

And maybe Azula thought Ursa didn't love her and never cared, because of all of her mother's actions towards her.

Azula simply noticed all those signs and took refuge in a monster, thinking maybe she could get some love and attention. And of course, she was horribly wrong in choosing Ozai, but can we judge her? No.
