Deff!! The way the mother kept in that depression took Jintae too into the trauma she has making him have a prejudice with relating with betas. Ofc a therapist is better but she really needed to talk with someone whos position is similar. Dawun played an important role in her healing cz nothing hits the same as the person whos condition is equal to yours. His words took a deep space in her process. That makes Jintae and his mother look actually related, both needed a Dawun lol

His mother’s attitude towards him actually felt relatable. Having parents that are estranged and having to live with narcissistic heartbroken parent is a living hell and ruins your self esteem. They believe they’re setting you up for good with their rules and expectations but it actually inhibits and destroys your ability to self process properly and to make healthy relationships, whether romantic or platonic. It stops you from expressing yourself because then you were called disrespectful, hit, and degraded. But it’s even worse to feel obligated to listen to your abuser, especially if it’s always been just you and them. And it sucks, because the people you go on to hurt are 100% justified (imo) to hate you. Healing is not a stable journey but being self aware of your issues is not enough!!(definitely a good start though ) It’s ok to reach out and admit that you’re hurting and need support. I’m glad that he has someone who is willing to stay and support because if he lost Dawun that would just cause him to get stuck in that loop. Ok soorry guys I ttm but just my option that I wanted to share
