O was thinking the same thing, like you need to apologize first.
Yep the apologies definitely should’ve come first then the slow attempts to get closer. Like, I know I’ve been the worst mom/wife or a villainess and I hate how I’ve treated you, but I’d like the opportunity to change for you both and earn your forgiveness. Or I’d like to be the mom/wife you deserve. She may have gotten them both to adjust to her being entirely different from when she wanted nothing to do with them.
That’s something that always irks me in these stories is that they never understand like you read the book you should know why people are weary or hate you but you make it seem like they’re against you for no reason, they never realize it’s because the old soul fucked everything up and even if you personally didn’t do it your in the body now so you need to apologize and fix the problem they always just drastically try to be overly nice and expect change but it always confuses the ml or the child to thinking it’s a trick
Totally Agree. I guess from the new soul’s perspective there is a certain distance from what the former soul’s actions and feelings and their own. I’ve read in a few isekaied storylines where the person connects with the memories as if it was their own or talks to the former soul they take more ownership that this is their life now. The people who are still clinging to their past lives or who have hope of returning are slower to mesh with the people around them. But it still seems basic to apologize for the wrongdoings of the former soul since essentially their past currently belongs to the new person.
The first thing the FL should have done when she realized she woke in that crappy women’s body was apologize to her son and husband especially her son. How do you expect to build or should I say rekindle a relationship when you haven’t properly admitted to your own sins. Even if she doesn’t have all the memories. By the first time she met the child and how he reacts to her that should have shown he experienced at least emotional abuse. Same when she’s trying to talk to the husband he clearly says “don’t you hate me?,” which she should have took for a reason of why he doesn’t want to talk to you. Think about it who in the hell would want to talk or be around someone who treats them crazy. Such as yelling and throwing things at them. He was basically begging for her attention and love just like their son and basically got spit at in return.
Common sense would tell her the first thing she needs to do is figure out what happened and apologize in the real lady stead because you can’t just brush off the bad things and the abuse she was doing to both of them.
