i feel bad for the mom but let’s not forget she abused and neglected a child just because she found her vibe off yeah she needs to be free of her shitass husband but let’s not act she’s a saint here

let's not water down the meaning of "neglected" and "abused" she didn't let her study, have things her brothers got(exp. Egg on food) but never did she abuse the girl by hitting her or telling her harsh words about her body or things. The mother had a line and did not want the girl to go over that line. when she did the mother reacted with her safety mechanism because she thought that the girl was a psychopath. Never did she neglect her. She has said to the girl that she is not her mother (although a bit harsh since she feared the girl) but gave the girl her freedom in what she did, on the exception of not working at moonlight(?)

"cruel and violent treatment of a person or animal."
also I did not say to water down the meaning of abuse in neglect to break up what they mean but rather to not misuse words with powerful meanings.
as it "waters them down" making them less powerful for the people and as such not as important anymore.

but neglect is a form of abuse though… ahrin is a special case because she’s crazy but she might have grown up normally if her mother was actually present in her life and raised her and didn’t influence her brothers to also bully and ignore her when convenient.
how can you expect to be taken seriously when you vibe check a literal 6 year old and decide she’s a psychopath so therefore you neglect her for years and wonder why she actually turned out to be a psychopath. no therapy, no developmental help, didn’t even send her to public school to learn from “regular” children on how to act. i didn’t water down anything, you just want to feel bad for your favourite character without acknowledging she did anything wrong so you can feel like you’re supporting a “good person”
newsflash, no one is a good person in this story and that’s the point.

when you let blatant favouritism be flaunted in your face for years at your developmental years, that is neglect and emotional abuse. i’m not misusing shit bruh don’t use your dumb therapy speech on me when you don’t even know what it’s like growing up with parents who favour your siblings over you.

Girl bffr she did not give ahrin freedom, she simply did not care what she did and that’s literally neglect. How does a child activating her safety mechanism justify immediately tossing her away and pretending she doesn’t exist? Do me a favour and read the first chapters again and tell me she wasn’t fucked up for that. Ahrin doesn’t seem affected by it because she enjoys chasing people for the love of the game but if she were to tell the audience straight up that the way she was treated when she was younger made her feel hurt, we’d all feel wayyy more differently about the mom. And two things can be true at once, people can feel bad for her but also acknowledge she was not a good person. Personally, I support women’s right AND wrongs but i agree with op, some of yall act like she didn’t abuse a kid ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

right? she essentially put ahrin in a fancy birdcage and people wanna call that “freedom”… people didn’t even know she existed as part of the family until she became an adult. she wasn’t allowed to go outside or interact with literally anyone but her housekeepers, father, and her brothers, but even her brothers were discouraged from being around her.
finally finished it… from start to finish the prince was the most pathetic and annoying bitch ever thank god elina or whatever her name was dumbed his ass
