Lmao your simplified iz long. Now im curious about the whole unsimplified one.
I agree. Her character setting is literal Angel with big heart. But that doesn't mean she forgive it all. She took her time to heal after her struggle. Then she stand up for herself and fight against the world
What I'm about to say about this situation is (kind of) simplified:
You know... I don't know if it's just because of my own family dynamics and how I was raised to view and treat my family, but it makes me really sad to see everyone say he shouldn't forgive his mother. He has every right not to, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't.
This arc isn't about her.
This whole trip was him coming to terms with a lot of his past problems that still haunt him and affect him and his relationship(s) including the lack of love from a genuine mother or mother figure.
While I agree with people who are saying that her sob story is no excuse, Winter is in need of moving past it all- even if that means speaking to and forgiving his mother. And Violet knows that. Yall are saying she's gonna be typical nice FL and convince him to forgive his ma, but she's shown time and time again that there's DEPTH in her thought process. It's not always about being nice, so even if she tries to convince him (which I don't know if thats what itll be at this point in ch 140) it's not going to be some half asked "but she had it hard too, just get over it" moment. Even leading to this point, Violet never pushed that kind of narrative. She genuinely cared about how not only his adoptive parents acted towards him but also his birth mother. She also knows he needs some sort of assurance that he wasn't just dumped on the road because his mom was living the high life and didn't want him in the way or something.
Point is, I believe people need to get over their pettiness in wanting to withhold forgiveness and just wish them both a better life. Violet is an angel who deserved no wrong, but Winter is a wounded soul who deserves to know love and freedom from his past shackles. (〜￣△￣)〜
P.S. this applies to everyone who thinks Violet shouldn't have bothered forgiving Winter and going back to him. Obviously from this chapter she knows that fate isn't always kind and misunderstandings and poor situations tear apart relationships in the most unfortunate ways like hers and Winter's. Yet, she shows sympathy and empathy towards Him who couldn't understand or know.
