bkdknumber1fan : I don’t fully understand why the lydia receives this much hate. I am not justifying her past actions, because what she did was definitely wrong especially for someone who calls herself a mother. However, I think many people judge her only at face value and fail to consider the deeper context . From my perspective, her actions in her first life were driven by loneliness, poverty, and betrayal, which blinded her to the presence of the one person who truly cared for her(her daughter). Just imagine being trapped in poverty, trusting a man who promised you the life that you dreamed of, only to be abused, abandoned, and left with his debts in that situation, it’s understandable how someone might believe that power is the only way to survive and avoid suffering. It was only when her daughter showed her unconditional love and sacrificed herself that she finally realized the weight of her mistakes and understood that life is not solely about power. For me,while her past actions is unjustifiable and simply wrong, but it is still admirable that she is willing to recognize her faults and change everything for the sake of her daughter.
