While i see your point, i dont think hara's mother is taking the right approach. She doesn't even consider how hara feels. She keeps blaming hara for her failures (she doesn't say that outright, but its what hara is getting from her) and refuse to acknowledge hara's wants and passion. She doesn't even think about hara's mental state and how her words are harming her.
And i think, life is long, and there tons of opportunities and people keep changing their paths in life. Its not too late, if hara cant make it on judo, she can always do something else. But now she wants that, shes good at that and there isnt really a reason for her mother to be against it.
Also, don't forget that her mother got her into that in the first place. Now all of a sudden when sara actually enjoys it and goot at it, her mother suddenly changed her mind and wanted her to stop. This is emotional manipulation. Everything she says to hara is.
but hara said she wanted to be a policewoman in the future not even like a judo pro or anything. i dont see why her moms denying her of that just because shes obsessed w the idea of hara being a lawyer
Uh you’re saying it as if I agreed with what Hara’s mother did. I’ve said a few times that I don’t, so maybe you could direct this reply to someone else who supports Hara’s morher or something? Did you reply to the wrong post? I’m so confused.
You know, I used to find Hara’s mother so detestable, but after a while I knew it couldn’t be that simple since this author loves to make grey characters. I thought about it and honestly while Hara’s mother isn’t right she doesn’t come from a bad place.
I speak this from experience — I know a girl who pursued singing and her parents were super supportive. She was really talented, honestly, but she’s now working as at admin clerk and part-time waiter and she’s struggling a lot to pay the bills. She does busking on the streets. See, she gave up college to pursue a lot of singing competitions but it just never worked out. And then she hit thirty and had to settle for jobs she could get.
The truth is that if we were parents we have to be practical for our children’s sake. We’d ideally support our children but our children don’t have foresight like we do since we’re older. The hard truth is that if my child may like drawing comics, it will be difficult for them to pursue, and I would support them but also have them keep their options open.
