I remember Skyler's mom mentioning that Yeonduk's mom was also her "servent" during high school or college. So they basically knew each other for a pretty long time. I guess the mom doesn't know how to defend herself, so she just abides whatever skyler's mom says. That's why Yeonduk's mom didn't do anything.
Yeah when Skyler's Mom was drunk she pretty much insulted her and yeonduk's mom didnt say anything.. except "you really had a bad day huh"
Skyler's mum casually mentions she wanted to kill herself AND her son, because she's tired of the situation? Wtf... I remember someone's theory saying that when Skyler's mum was going to take him to his dad (Ch.17), she was probably going to get them both killed... so Yeonduk actually saved his life. Now that we see this back story (Ch.23), it seems even more plausible!
What makes me wonder is why Yeonduk's mum didn't do anything? Did she got used to her friends' craziness so much that she decided to ignore all of the insane things Skyler's mum says?
Also, looking how Skyler acts ''normal'' (well, within a range) as a teenager and doesn't seem to have major developmental problems, it seems like his childhood issues were due to to maltreatment... in other words, he was probably neglected and left mostly to himself, maybe even abused. Now I hate his parents even more (it's also dad's responsibility to give your child attention and love, fathers in this stories seem to do nothing so far!).
