It's also sad that Jeremy was used by his mom as her lover when his dad died.
Sorry for replying late and yeah I agree. I thought it was very strange how the mother would treat her son as if he was supposed to be a replacement for his father. I think that the mother was just mentally weak and would do anything to make sure that she could be with Greg even if it meant her son getting hurt which made me hate the mother and feel disgusted by her actions. Like what type of mother does that.
Yeah I agree.
SPOILERS!!!!
I just finished reading this story and let me tell you this story will make you feel all types of ways.
I just felt sooo bad for Jeremy the things he had to endure just so his mom could be married and obtain happiness since she lost her husband. I did not like Greg at all, he was such a disgusting asshole who knew how to use someone's weakness against them so that they can submit to him. I didn't feel bad at all when I found out he died, he got what was coming to him for all of the abuse and torture he caused Jeremy. However I did feel bad for Sandra because she seemed like a nice and caring woman who really loved her son. But my feelings started to change for Sandra once I found out that she might have known what Greg was doing to Jeremy and did nothing to stop it. It felt like to me that Sandra cared about her relationship with Greg more than caring about the terrible things that were being done to Jeremy. And that's fucked up because she is supposed to protect her child no matter what not just act like nothing is happening when you can clearly see that he is not acting the same as he use to when he lived in Boston. Like I can't stand her now and same with Natasha because she did nothing at all when she saw them either. She allowed Greg to keep doing those horrible things to Jeremy.
Than you have Ian who found out the truth of why Jeremy tampered with the car and the things Greg did to him. I was sooo pissed when Ian was going into denial saying that Jeremy made everything up, that his father wasn't this type of person but you saw the evidence, you saw Jeremy's back and you heard what Sharon and Matt said about seeing them kiss. Like I know you don't want to believe it but to go as far as to say that it was all an illusion and that Jeremy didn't go through any of that, just made me so mad and upset at Ian.
I was happy that Ian went back to get Jeremy from Boston because if Jeremy would have continued that life-style he might have become a massive drug addict and could possibly end up dead. I think that Ian was in a lot of ways able to help Jeremy try to find a way to cope with his pain and try to love again. To see that loving someone wasn't bad, that it can be a beautiful thing. I think that towards the last couple of chapters I think Jeremy started to feel love for Ian but he just couldn't accept it because of what Greg did but mostly for finding out that Sandra could have known what happened to them. Jeremy felt that the person he loved the most was willing sacrifice Jeremy for her happiness and that left him feeling betrayed and cause Jeremy to suffer more. And that''s probably the reason why Jeremy is afraid to love and be loved because he's been hurt before and it was a lot for him to take. I think that Jeremy started to realize his feelings for Ian when he heard Nadia wanted to get back together with Ian or when he found out that he kissed Nadia Jeremy started to feel uneasy and probably was feeling jealousy as well. I think that the last chapter probably shows that Jeremy and Ian aren't in a relationship but there are hints saying that they could end up being to together in the future once Jeremy is able to get a bit more better mentally and is able to trust in love again.
Overall I think this was an amazing story with a lot of heart-ache and pain but with also a sense of understanding, love and happiness within the characters. I highly recommend this manga and if you do read it I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
