Seeing Lisa's noticeable happiness made her stepmother, Titien, feel envious. This feeling might arise because Lisa has found a happiness that Titien may not feel she has in her own life.

Titien's envy could stem from feeling unappreciated or unloved within the family. Witnessing Lisa enjoying a life full of love and happiness may make her feel unjust or lacking in comparison.

Titien's jealous reactions could range from coldness and distancing to more manipulative or confrontational behavior. She may feel threatened by the increasingly close relationship between Lisa and other family members, especially if she feels her position as Lisa's stepmother is threatened.

To address this situation, Lisa may need to be empathetic and understand that Titien's feelings of envy may stem from deep-seated pain. There may be room for open and honest communication, where Lisa and Titien can discuss their feelings respectfully and find ways to alleviate tension and build a healthier relationship.
