Even while he's grown she's still a bad mum. If ur kid says i wish you'd dote on me and you respond with you're a grown ass man, you're a shit mother. I'm always near Euse's age and my parents would never say that to me.
My grandparents doted on my parents too and everyone i know also has their parents dote on them too. Cause no matter how old they get they're still your baby.
He has never acted like that before. All throughout his youth, he's been a mischievous troublemaker and never acted cutely or childish. Yvette got the ick because he switched his personality so suddenly.
Maybe if he just voices his feelings to her about everything, she would understand where he's coming from. Yvette is the type of person you have to be straightforward with. She's not a mind reader. He needs to stop running away from his problems and seek a solution.
Got caught off..
But as i was saying calling him gross is a woerd response for a parent. I don't think as the child he has to figure out how to talk to his mother. Wjy can't she see it as him trying to change.
Being open with your feeling with someone that constantly acts like they couldn't give a rats ass about you is hard.
Especially when she keeps comparing him to his dad and distancing him every time he tries to say they are similar.
The same pride and attitude she has is part of why it took years after her husband died and dillon as an intermediate to solve the tension between her and cedrics grandfather.
(I'm not saying cedrics grandfather isn't at fault but that by your logic she could have also tried to be sincere and be honest with her father in law instead of being standofish)
As the mum in the situation, it makes sense she is being judged harshly. No matter her reasons she still has a role as a mother.
Especially when we were introduced to her and see how she dotes on cedric and Vi, it was jarring to see how she treats Euse

I need all of you to read and use context clues. Yvette and his father were out working and couldn't stay home for too long. And let's not gloss over the fact that his father was a scammer. If he was trying to pull Yvette into a scam, which eneded their marriage, can you imagine what other shit he was doing? She probably had to clean up all his mess to prevent more scandals.
Her every move is documented in the newspapers for all of society to see. Do you really think she would be able to relax at home and be a good mother while her husband is out there doing God-knows-what and could destroy their livelihood at any second?
Yes, I understand that Eus felt abandoned. He was a kid and had no idea what was going on on the outside. He had a brother that always showed up for him but he thought it was forced. He put up a wall between himself and his family. He stopped calling Yvette mom, he dropped out of school, traveled, and distanced himself. After traveling for so long and encountering different kinds of people, his view on people became so messed up.
He only met Dillion, who was just being friendly, for 5 minutes and immediately thought she was another noble lady trying to have an affair with him. He can't go on in life making assumptions about others instead of getting to know them. He can't continue to run away because he THINKS he doesn't belong.
He appears very intelligent but he doesn't see that his family cares about him? Why else would they continue to reach out to him and beg him to come visit them when he has that chance? He's causing his own loneliness at this point.
