Mary thought her son was missing in Jerusalem, what she didn't realize was the fact that Jesus was in his Father's house.

Mary might have wondered why God had to make them flee. Couldn't God have saved Jesus from Herod? Why must they flee?

At the same time Mary went to the temple for her purification, Anna was also at the temple and in fasting and prayers.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them.

Mary's husband was just the right support system for her. Joseph was not harsh, he was gentle and ready to marry Mary.
