after reviewing the series (once again), I noticed a strange thing that destroys the myth of how Ursa did not pay attention to her and how she had to seek support from ozai.
With Zuko, Ursa had 3 interaction scenes that lasted a total of 71 seconds.
There were 4 scenes with Azula that lasted 68 seconds.
The question is, what kind of lack of attention are we talking about?
moreover, what about Ozai? Azula had exactly 2 scenes with him, and 2 behind the scenes. Zuko had 6 of them. that is, he was more influenced by ozai.
but you can say, "they didn't show it to us, but behind the scenes she received less attention from her mother and more from her father. but this is such an idea that it can be explained in the same way that toph ran away because her father was a child molester and molested her (and for this he ordered her to be locked up). It wasn't shown in the series, but if you think about it, then everything falls into place.
and yes, with regard to "mother's dislike", do you remember what azulon said to Ozai when he simply asked to become crown Prince instead of iroh? He ordered him to kill Zuko. and what would Azulon say if he heard how Azula wished him, his son and his grandson dead? and Ursa didn't even raise her voice at her for such words.
