Good Start

I think it’s unfair to blame the ML lol. Whenever mc’s or FLs have amnesia too, no one blames them for forgetting or not finding out what happened. But cause he’s the ML and rich, he’s blamed lmao. It’s very obvious multiple people worked to cover up and hide the past (his mother, the purple chick and her brother, etc.)

It could just be that he doesn’t trust his mother for certain things but doesn’t believe his mother would do something that crazy. It’s a pretty realistic thought.

I’m sorry this is so hypocritical

You’re assuaging that the FL who also holds sway and power (knowledge of who he was, knowledge of his CHILD,) and more that she’s the “victim” of this when in reality both of them lost so much..

Also, it isn’t too hard to see that most depictions of memory loss or amnesia also comes with a disinterest in past memories or activities regardless of their importance..

Also top commenter is right why the double standards for the countless FL who are also victims of amnesia and memory loss? Sometimes the truth so close to home can be hidden or obscured by those closest to you hence his mom and having suspicions of others isn’t an easy thing to ponder or think of? Like as READERS we understand and can connect the dots but of course these characters cannot

I'm not basing my comment on any other story only on this one. Also, I don't believe I let the FL off easily. I DID say she should have put more effort (talked to his friends, professors, or workmates) into finding out exactly why the ML's tone and characterization had changed so suddenly. But the run-in with the mother followed by the nasty phone call removed any bravery she had gained. I may not like the results, but I understood.

As for the ML, no I will not give him a pass for his amnesia. NOPE!! Any normal human being whether rich or poor who is suffering from memory loss will want as much of those missing years returned. I can only give him a pass for 1 year as he dealt with healing his body, but to not seek out anything concerning his missing memories is ridiculous. No doctor, unless paid off/threatened, will tell an amnesiac patient not too seek mental treatment to help recover lost memories. Normal people ask for pictures, videos, or people who are connected to those missing years who could help fill in the gaps. ML was a college student therefore are we to believe he didn't have any friends or wasn't involved with any clubs?? This is the age of the internet and the rise of social media and I'm to believe ML didn't even have an account that may have pictures, posts, or videos to give him clues about his missing memories? Especially as a young college student?? Maybe that happened and his mother only allowed those she could pay off to talk to him and hack any accounts he had. So far, the story hasn't covered if he actually tried to regain those missing years or if he just let them stay gone. But considering his distrust of his mother's overprotective attitude it would behoove him to investigate her behavior. ML's distrust has been mentioned in the plot, and he's smart enough to know that she's hiding something from him, something important enough he believes she has placed spies around his workplace. Hence his blow-up with his military buddy. Even with that amount circumstantial information, the story, so far, wants me to believe he didn't even attempt to use his money to hire a PI and investigate anything that would explain the attempt on his life that led to his memory loss?! No. I'm not buying it. I would prefer to be wrong, and, hopefully, the story will show he does indeed have a personal file where he has been slowly investigating those years himself and didn't accept he lost a portion of his life.

Can I ask if you yourself have gotten amnesia before or have talked to several people who have gotten amnesia? Have you studied the cases of people who have gotten amnesia? I’m sorry but I believe you’re generalizing anyone who has amnesia to have the exact same reaction, which is false, and that should be obvious that there’s billions of people on this earth and many situations where people react differently. I’ve seen some amnesiacs who wanted to move on with their life out of fear for discovering things in the past. Amnesiacs who develop new personalities due to the missing memories and would rather not change how they got used to their current life. There’s so many, you can’t assume everyone would want to question and find out every little thing. I also think you don’t know that some doctors recommend to not push patients to remember and let them remember on their own as time passes. I also think you forget that there’s several people who worked on covering the past up, so it’s not mind blowing to think his mother, the purple chick and her brother helped to hide things.

It just sounds SO biased to blame an amnesiac for reacting in a way you wouldn’t, and that little amount of blame you gave to the FL shows for itself. You say you didn’t let the FL off easy, but look at the amount you talked about her compared to the entire paragraph you did to blame the ML. You resolved your blame for the FL with two things (the mom and phone call) but then went on a rant listing several things for the ML. It’s not adding up. I’m telling you rn, if it were the mc who was the amnesiac, you would not be reacting the same way just from what you’ve already written.

We're going have to agree to disagree. No, I don't work in the medical field, however that was an area I briefly explored, but soon left for another area more suited to my talents. And as you asked me: are you part of the medical community? If, yes, I will leave the chat to your updated medical teachings. If your answer is No, then we will be stuck at an impass unable to move around each other's non-medical approach to this fictional story. But circling back to my brief study in the medical field, I have worked on memory loss, but will admit it wasn't for amnesiac patients, but for dementia and Alzheimers. And in those few studies, it was recommended by doctors for family and friends to help them with pictures and videos if available. But, indeed, each patient is different and each doctor's recommendation can change from patient to patient due to the stages of their disease.

And you seem to be stuck on the fact that I believe the ML should have been more active in recovering his memories. This is my reaction to the situation I see around him given what we've read and his interactions with the other characters, especially his mother. And I never denied that people (ML's mother and others) may have actively covered up his past. I explicitly stated that twice in my responses. Money changes situations; ML is on the wealthier side, so I listed (not ranted) several avenues he could have explored to fill-in his missing memories, if he had been interested, however the story hasn't covered his time directly after his accident. Perhaps, I read more into MLs relationship with his mother than what was required, but we as readers see MLs tense behavior where his mother is concerned. So, I would believe he should/would investigate it.The FL, as shown, isn't flushed with money, so her avenues to gain more information (also listed in my previous response) is limited to what's within her reach. Once again, the story hasn't fleshed out what happened to each character during those missing years.

I can't say what my reaction would be if the FL and ML had switched sides. As my opinion and reactions would definitely change based upon the setup of the story's plot and the status of the situations surrounding each character. Does the FL have the child? But no memory of the father? Does the ML have the child? With no memory of the mother? Simple changes like this changes the flow of the story and thus a reader's viewpoint of the plot.
