Often, strained relationships between a child and their parents are the result of the multiple setbacks that a person experiences over a period of time. There was a reason why Alexandra went against her own father in Zero Day season 1. She was a sensible woman; she was a competent politician, but still, she chose to put her faith in Richard Dreyer and not in her own father, primarily because of the perception she had about George Mullen.

You know, a lot of times, I see that being estranged from one’s parents is treated as a yardstick that is used to judge a child’s character. But what we do not realize is that no child likes being in that state, and their reaction is a byproduct of multiple negative experiences that shape their sensibilities and force them to be a certain way. Alexandra was not always this way.
