The mother was scum. She DID have a disease (alcoholism is a disease), but the hatred and vindictiveness she showed her daughter went way beyond that. At the same time, the most unforgivable person in the story is her father. Not having the excuse of being an alcoholic himself, he enabled the mother's abuse of Emma, never stood up for her, didn't help her get something other than ragged clothes, kicked her out of the house when she said she was pregnant, and went to hit her when he thought she was going to give away the fact that her mother abused her. His abused and abandoned daughter comes to see him in the hospital and all he talks about is that she needs to see her mother. Both of her parents should have died in a ditch, unloved and unmourned. As to the ML, when he got on his high horse about how HE was the one that suffered when she ran away, I wanted to slap him hard enough to loosen his teeth. And why the hell was he still hanging around the girls who treated his supposed beloved like trash?
FL's kindness is out of this world. How can she even come back to the town that made her suffer? Her mother, father and the nurse bitch got a slapped on the wrist with everything they did. Story didn't made me lose some braincells but it made me angry on how the author made FL so bloody kind.
If he loved her for 8 years and always thinking about her than he should have looked for her not wait till she comes back to him. And the people who spread rumors about the FL she have suffered or get their karma!!!
