From personal experience and with the type of person I am I would much rather like the dad. So I'm not sure if I can explain this well but if you treated me like shit don't just randomly start treating me human out of nowhere. I'm not sure if other people would act like this but this is just from my experience i don't want my parents to suddenly treat me nice because it would be hard for me to continue hating them. Does that make sense? For years I have been neglected and exposed to things I shouldn't have been exposed to at a young age and it's not easy to forgive people esp my parents who have mistreated me despite being their child. In sorts it's like doubling down(?) If you choose to be a bad parent be a bad parent maybe I'm just salty because my parents sucked ass but it's easier for the child to continue hating the parent than trying to open up to the person who made your life miserable. Ahhh was there any point to this? Maybe not haha

I agree. And it makes sense. Especially since it is not like one can ever accept a mental instability as a reason to feel neglected. In a sense, it is like saying, the mother has scars, and the mother has inflicted scars upon her child. But who's to say who's in a worse state when both has been injured and been in pain. The son acting that way is no big shocker ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

That's understandable, but the is the father wasn't any better. Actually, he's far worse if you ask me. I don't think she actually did anything worse than ignoring him. Neglect is neglect yes and his feelings are justified, but it's wrong not to give his mother a chance when the worst thing she did was ignore him. She didn't abuse him or anything like that. Besides, mental illness is a SERIOUS thing. If this was the modern time, I would've questioned why she didn't go get therapy but this was set in historical time where mental health wasn't considered important. Though, I do understand your standpoint as I went through the same thing and I really wouldn't like it of the parents I hated suddenly changed when it's too late. It's just if she was my mother, I would of course be confused at first but eventually forgive her. Because I honestly think it wasn't that bad. Well that's just me. Remember that he's a spitting image of his father. So, who influenced him the most to who he is now?

Yeah haha I understand but just from my personal perspective it would be easier for me to "like" the dad more because I can hate him with all my heart without having to feel bad because he's starting to treat me like a human for once after all the years of neglect what the mom is doing is nice but it's hard to accept ykno haha

I agree about that. Especially since we're dealing with mental illness, and with the period of time she's been dealing with it. Though the son may be too stubborn, O just want to take both sides equally, in a sense of trying to understand where it roots from. Although since I'm a reader, and I have the chance to see each of their roots of negativities (if there's such a thing), even if I don't like weighing people's pain just to say that that person is even more of a victim, I think the father is greatly at fault(though all fault does not lie on him), while FL is the person who was victimized by the situation the mpst hehe
