But can we also congratulate the mom here? The son was confused, rightfully so, which the mom respected and gave him his space. She acknowledges the hurt she's caused and understands that it is not something that can be changed overnight. So instead of forcing it, she let's her son guide where the relationship is going and backs down when he needs time to process or just time alone. I think she deserves an award for this! If all ppl irl did this, some relationships wouldn't end, and most ppl don't know how to respect boundaries like she has been doing. So the fact that she is taking hints and reading the room really shows an improvement in her character.
I never thought we'd get this chat back yayyy!!
