Just started reading this (only on chapter 2 rn) and ngl I’m pretty tired of the dumb af mom trope. Her logic is so stupid. She’s crying over the fact that she chose to leave him in order not to hurt him knowing she doesn’t have long to live- but she also proceeds to directly hurt him anyways by leaving??? He’s hurt both ways no matter what. She also doesn’t think about the awful situation she put her child in by leaving and knowing damn well, dragons don’t accept humans/getting together with humans. She KNEW she didn’t have long to live but chose to go to a dangerous environment shunned by her kind for her kid. So she basically was ready to leave her kid there. She made the situation way worse by making that bad impression on the father, and thus already making a rift between father and child both in bad understandings and no relationship for years. She basically created an even bigger problem for everyone just to die and leave the problem for everyone else to solve. I honestly think an interesting plot would to have those “run away mother” survive and actually face the consequences of how dumb their decisions are. Also be lectured by their own kid for their stupidity. Like GIRL you are part of the issue for your failure in relationship.
