Maybe it's because I'm emotional after reading this chapter but I hate that bitch. I don't care if you think it's misogynistic but I hate her. As someone who has watched the evil step mother at work in real life as a child maybe I'm being triggered but this was an adult woman. She had so many ways to alleviate the situation she put an innocent child in. She could have even taken him back to the orphanage ffs but she chose her delusions over the physical and psychological safety of a child. She was so obsessed with the aesthetic of a "happy family" that fucking up a child was a small price to pay. Her husband didn't even want seo in. It was just forced on him and he had to deal with it. Some y'all act like women cannot coerce men into accepting fuckshit conditions they don't want. Even by the small dynamics we've seen she clearly is the one controlling things.
I'm being emotional but as a woman I feel a deep sense of betrayal from women who hurt children and other women. I just can never get past it.
