    She never lashed out, she never hit anyone, her verbal pyrotechnics were much diminished, but her face pinched up in disapproval every time anyone but her husband spoke. It was like watching a trigger pulled on an empty gun. You're safe, but you know that someone wants you dead.
This is novelistic writing. If it's not in your current novel, put it in the next one.

You are not your mother!! and you won't turn into her later on. But one must ever be vigilant. DNA is funny stuff.
