The reason why Ines’s mom is so unhinged is because she’s mentally ill. There’s a past story that exists for her. While she and Ines have probably burned too many bridges between them, since Ines remembers two timelines, the fact is the author wrote this story from a human perspective. Her mother is not totally a lost cause. Carcel’s mom will eventually find out how Ines’s mom treated her children and she’ll talk to her about her bad behavior and counsel her on being a better wife, MIL and grandmother. It might be too late for her and Ines but it’s never too late for Ines’s mom and her future daughter-in-law and all the grandkids Ines’s mom will get to babysit. At least Ines can be civil with her mom at some point in the future. Carcel’s family will be a blessing to the Valeztenas.
So in this story, unless people don’t change, they are never written off.
