why does it feel like I'm being guilt-tripped into caring how the mother feels when she abandoned her child his entire life?????
Like, yall, hear me out, people struggle with grief in a lot of ways and it takes a MAJOR toll on them and how they interact with people, but again, she abandoned her child all the way up to adulthood, no word ever directly from her, his aunt would update him on her, no matter the circumstances in his life, no matter what he went through afterwards, she NEVER contacted him.
It was never his job to do that, it was hers, and the fact that EVEN NOW, her stepdaughter is talking to him instead of her??? Like, why is this her job, hello??? And he has EVERY right to feel the way he did, granted we don't want him to resent himself but stopping himself from doing so purely only to please his mom, that's bonkers.
