I came across a sentence and was wondering what the と in it functions as, as
well as the exact meaning of 色々

> 色々とお母さん、 言いたい事が溜まってるの

The context is that a high school boy has been doing things that his mother
disapproves of, and his mother has been tolerating them but one day told him
to sit on the floor and said the sentence above.

I'm thinking that it's quoting the mother's thoughts, and that an unspoken あって
follows と. Furthermore, I'm thinking that the 色々 is there to remove the need
of completely telling what happened along with the feelings the mother may
have and just say "various things".

My translation is: "Various things (many things along with her
feelings/opinions on them unspoken) happened and I have a lot of things I want
to say (lit. things I want to say are accumulating/piling up)"

Is this correct?  
If it is, can あって be replaced by 思って, making the sentence to mean that she has
been thinking on various things instead of various things happened"?

grammar particle-と adverbs
Use of と and meaning of 色々 in this sentence
色々と = various, all kinds of.

お母さん = mother (of course!) In this case she addresses herself "mother" rather
than "I / me" to emphasise that she is extremely irritated.

言いたい事 = things (I want) to say.

溜まってる (<- 溜まっている) = to have built up, to have piled up, to have accumulated.

Thus

> 色々とお母さん、 言いたい事が溜まってるの

= "Your mother has MANY things to tell you, okay?"

answer
I don’t feel the nuance of 色々とあって from the mother’s remark, 「色々とお母さん、
言いたい事が溜まってるの」. To me it sounds like she is only saying, “Mom has a lot of
thing (piled up) that I want to tell you.”

「いろいろと」 simply means “various.” Of course, many things should have happened
before the mom made this remark. Her son made a lot of things that vexed her.
But that is an unsaid part, not mentioned in the quoted statement.
