she definitely was selfish, but being selfish doesn't make you a bad person, the ones that i feel were more in the wrong were the ones that saw how selfish she was and the mistakes that she was making and didn't told her about it or helped her with her PPD, like honestly, HOW difficult is to notice someone is not ok and try to help them, even if you can't help, you try to guide them to someone that actually can..... （￣へ￣）
exactly it's quite infuriating in fact. so much could have been prevented if the people had at least tried to speak with her or help her out, but she is just surrounded by other close minded and selfish people thus making her situation worse.. still can't fully sympathize or like her though but i get you
as a child with a neglectful father or to put it simply a father who left i understand vincente. while i do not crave my fathers love or anything related to him i could most certainly understand this.
while i can't help but subconsciously dislike the MC and label her as selfish i do understand that her circumstances did not help. the staff and husband were horrible for simply labeling her as a "spy" and leaving her out of things simply because was a woman from another family.
it's so obvious she had PPD and without having lady in waiting there was no one to really help her or teach her how to get through it. while i will NEVER EVER forgive her or justify her neglecting her son (i still can't help but hate her for that) i do not think she is an evil person.
i do see her as selfish, but i suppose i see her as a morally gray person too. she isn't innocent but nor is she guilty of something. she was a victim to bad circumstances and dealt with having a child alone at age 16-17 while dealing with other things. obviously it piled up on her. she is most certainly a horrible mother in the past, but she's trying so hard now... i guess i give her brownie points for that.
i used to think i was a nice person but after reading this i've just gotten so triggered. i can't help but see her as a selfish woman. but... i'm so conflicted. i guess this story struck a nerve. of course i want to continue reading because i feel like this story has also taught me more about people's different POVs and whatnot
