This just bring tears to my eyes. I can’t imagine myself being in her position and had to deal with heavy guilt while also overcoming my own feats and trauma. Indeed it is easy for onlookers to tell and judge but it is hard enough for her to run away from constant abuse, and possible murder attempt, while also fending for herself in a new region, with a language so foreign to her. If I were in Inwoo’s position, I too couldn’t forgive her for what she did to me but I think I can empathise with her and maybe the forgiveness will come in due time as I grew older. Just like how irl we forgive our parents cause we realize life is never fair to everyone
Damn I love this webtoon, the dad deserved a worse death than that. I'm trying so so so hard to understand the mom and not hate her for abandoning her son in the hands of a monster. But in a realistic sense, she couldn't be a mother at that time because she had to fend for herself, is that excusable? No, was it heartbreakingly hard for her? Yes. We can all judge her, but once you face that for so many years that you literally collect parts of your shattered self and finally get the courage to get out, it's so difficult to truly heal from that. And she most likely didn't have any money to even suport herself, I wonder where she went after that and how did she survive until she fled the country, and how did she survive in Russia. There's so many unsolved questions about her and her circumstances, but we can all agree it was hell for her, and she lost a part of herself when she abandoned her only son. To me she was a very irresponsible mother, but she's only a broken human who barely got the courage to get up and leave.
