According to our Columbian operators' investigations and Robin's own explanation, it was only following the bankruptcy of her father's company and his repeated failures to reprise that he entered a downwards spiral. At the time of his divorce, the option to go with her mother was wholly open to Robin, but she chose to stay by her father's side in the end. She says that even though her father became so violent, easy to enrage, she still remembers how he used to be so gentle. So she opted to bear her father's hysteria, all the while heading out alone, earning money by herself to keep the house going. In spite of her relatively light build, she looked up to the robust, talented protagonists she'd seen since childhood in movies, and so when times at home were good, she took martial arts classes, and by her own efforts built up a good physique, as well as impressive combat skill for any ordinary person. Though adulthood came and she was nothing close to a hero who could plumb Paradise and Inferno alike, it did streamline finding herself a job. She first tried to pursue mental labor, but she quickly realized such work couldn't support her father's spendthrift habits. Afterwards, she began seeking all sorts of physical work, and ultimately found a decent job as a bodyguard. The job, however, was barely enough to maintain their livelihood, and she still sought better-paying work all throughout. Moreover, Robin has made it clear that during that period, how dangerous the work was no longer mattered much to her, as long as it could make any money. Indeed, she never imagined it'd be a turning point from where she'd meet Mountain and Silence, and eventually come to Rhodes Island. In the end, even if her father can recover with Rhodes Island's aid, even greater problems will sooner or later arise should he fall back on his older self-abandoning ways, and it's clear that Robin would be powerless against them. Though it often doesn't end well when outsiders interfere in these types of domestic affairs, Robin herself has turned to the Doctor and asked for help, so it should be feasible at the least for the Doctor to offer her some suggestion of direction. We hope for a day when things can improve for her.
