I just started but damn she is a horrible mother and person also neglect is not something ...

I feel sad for the child he did not deserve this at all poor him yeah im dropping this byyee

I think she had postpartum depression. It's a serious thing that happens and needs to be treated. Because they are in a time where women are treated lesser, they probably didn't know she was suffering from ppd. Even today people don't understand ppd very well and mistake a women not bonding with her child with abuse when it's actually a serious illness.

The child most definitely did not deserve this but the father should have done something. He should have been a better father. I think we're putting too much blame on her when it takes two to make a baby.

They should have helped her or done something not help her. Her symptoms and actions were not common or normal.

Sorry for the weird blurt of stuff

But thats the thing she loved her child when he was born she started to hate him because she couldnt go out thats not a reason to hate your child

I think the reason she started to resent him was because he took all of her freedom away. She was 17 when she had that baby. She was still a whole teenager that had not developed into an adult. Let’s not forget she was still reeallly young. Also society had expected her to stay at home with her baby 25/8 and I think that really sort of messed her up. She had even stated in the story, though she resented him, she still cared for him and this was before she went back in time. I honestly understand where she’s coming from. In no way am I condoning her actions but I’m also not going to straight up hate her. The expectations on women especially in a society like that are just terrible and she suffered from that.

Did you finish the rest or did you read the first chapter then decide her entire character, coincidentally skipping over the part where it explained her behavior and depression? I'm not excusing her actions whatsoever. It's extremely hard to grow up neglected but its even harder to raise a kid while you have postpartum depression. It eats you up from the inside. You truly want to love your kid but you can't and you feel like a failure. Comparing yourself to the other mothers out there. I would never wish it on my worst enemies. Before you come to conclusions about her, maybe open you outlook a little bit. This manga is actually really well written

You can love your child and still have post partum depression. What she has is a serious mental illness. I think alot of factors played a role in making her look like the villian.

1) they don't go into the specifics of the ppd so if you aren't aware of it , all you see is a horrible mother

2) the time period is set in the past where children are put on the mother so the story made it out to seem like all her fault when in reality she should have had the father to lean on. The father also should have taken a more active role in the childcare

3) this is a korean manwha and koreans have a standard for women and when they deem to be a women's role in society. So not being able to take care of a child means you're a failure. So we are looking at her through the lens of korean society.

Thank you for saying all of this. I feel so bad that she had to experience all of this by herself and she didn’t even have her husband to lean on when it even came down to it. And the fact that the people who work inside the house had treated her like a complete stranger is terrible as well. Honestly she’s such a strong, smart, and talented woman.

So depression is an excuse for neglect and abuse ok got it

I'm not saying that at all. What I am saying is that she has a serious mental illness that stopped her from being a good mother. I'm also saying is that we are treating her harshly when we forget that the father is non-existant and also abusive.

At the end of the day she hurt the child but she did not have that intention. If someone hallucinates a killer in their house and kills their family, does that mean they should be charged with murder? No! In their head they were doing self defence and had no intention of killing an innocent person. The mother here is mentally ill and NEEDS HELP. The father needs to take care of her and takeover the primary role of caregiver.

They didn’t say that at all
