I know that this author loves to redeem everyone in their works but like can we just agree that Ian's mom is so inconsiderate and borderline abusive. No way to sugar coat that, as a kid of an alcoholic parent it's so fucking draining to constantly feel responsible for them and be up-to-date on their every action bc you don't know what's going happen. Ian's only ever had trouble with his mom and can barely even bring up normal topics without his hands shaking, like I severely dislike her
