I don’t think Taiga should’ve blamed his dad, I don’t think his grandma should’ve blamed Makihara, and I don’t think Makihara should’ve essentially blamed Taiga.
First and foremost, Makihara should’ve at least let Taiga know he was leaving. Taiga was freaked out (as one would expect) bc his boyfriend suddenly left without any explanation, and then Maki slaps him for voicing that stress (even if it was something extreme like leaving his family). That’s not right. You shoulda spoken to him first and given him time to process it.
Then Taiga turned that stress on his father (again, to be expected that he’s lashing out bc he wasn’t given a chance to talk about it and regulate his feelings), and he shouldn’t have. It’s not your dad’s fault that you feel powerless. Talk about those feelings with people who support you.
And finally, no matter her reasons, the grandma sucks and shouldn’t have secretly imposed her selfish, one-sided opinions on Maki. Maki isn’t the reason your family isn’t perfect or might face struggles in the future; you’re just taking out your own fears and feelings of inadequacy about your relationship with your family on a complete stranger, lady. Get over yourself, and openly talk about your concerns - don’t do shady shit behind everyone’s back.
