i wouldn’t excuse it but considering how overbearing the grandpa already seems, i’m pretty sure the moms been living like that all her life so it’s hard for her to stand up. especially knowing what her dad can do to her husband and kids.
i do agree with your last 2 sentences though. she should’ve communicated with her kids even if it would seem like an excuse, at least they would know that she didn’t abandon them out of no where
Yes I completely agree with you. Although she should have communicated with her kids it would be really hard for her to stand up against someone who's been oppressing her all her life. Especially with the power and social status her father holds no one would be able to help her even if they tried because they wouldn't be on par with her father. This is just a really icky situation that she has to get out of herself. She needs to have her father click with one moment or one event other wise she'll forever be stuck in a lifestyle like this
Sure the grandfather separated them and is absolutely dangerous but I still feel like the mom didn't fight hard enough, how can she live after that, I would die before abandoning my children. Before leaving couldn't she have told the truth to her kids instead of making them believe she didn't love them? At least this way it would have hurt less.
