I hear you CosmicRose. I'm sure your mother knows very well how much the real globe means to you. But she is not trying to hurt you by taking the globe. It sounds to me like she is trying to hurt your father and is possibly very upset that you might have a better relationship with him than with her. She may have no way to compete with the special bond you have with him. IDK. Your mother may be wrong by keeping the globe but we don't know what transpired between her and your father. You may think you know based on what you heard but we really can't know how much she was hurt, how resentful she was/is. I stand by my original interpretation. Her taking the globe was not an act against you but against your father. As long as he is around, she wants to hold it against him. I think her giving you the smaller version is a sign that she is not holding the globe to hurt you.
