Ian's mother infuriates me so damn much
it's not like she's a child, so why does she keep throwing on tantrums like a toddler and making Ian go worried sick over her?
he is only a teenager and he had to leave his home to go look for his (probably) drunk mother, because she couldn't have in her to communicate with HER CHILD and actually give him the reassurance he needs
I was starting to dislike her a little less and then she goes and act like a child younger than her own son
I'm so so so pissed

what makes me even angrier is that Ian has always been the perfect son for her, he never gave her any reason to be worried or mad, but when he finally does something for himself (which doesn't even negatively affects either of them) she throws a goddamn tantrum and decides to fuck it all up by basically making him relive the trauma of having to deal with a drunk mom
I know she probably wasn't drinking for real, but she knows that that time of her life wasn't only difficult to her, but to Ian as well since he basically had to try and survive on his own because his mother was completely unavailable due to alcoholism, and just the mere thought of losing his mother to alcohol again was enough to make him desperate. She knew what she was doing and god I hate her for being so damn selfish and immature

    Yah she pisses me off too but its already pretty realistic. Its good story writing even if she is infuriating. I can't even imagine how she will react when the two admit they are dating to her.

    right, I guess that's why she pisses me off so bad
    if she was just an awful mother then I would casually hate her and life goes on, but she is a complex character and I find myself feeling sympathetic towards her at times which makes me feel even more when she acts like that
    the author did a really good job writing her
