Nah I don't think you're biased, my mom fortunately never said something like this to me, and the whole time I thought shouhei's mom was being a bitch. That's not something you say to your child ever, and she didn't even apologize, she just said "sure then, take care"
Yeah that’s my point. A mother should never disown their own child unless they committed horrible crimes. He didn’t commit a crime. She was wayyyy too harsh on him and actually emotionally abusive towards him and that was all brushed under the rug. This needed actual grovelling from the mother and her being rejected for months or even years before slow reconciliation could be considered and achieved.
I’m still upset at the mum’s words. My mum also used to constantly say “do it my way or get out!” And she disowned me a lot and took me back all on her own whims so I’m probably biased but isn’t what that mum did horrible? More than an apology is needed. Her child is an adult and she should learn to respect that. (I know she does in the end but it’s more her respecting mito san than her own son)
