Honestly, I hope he never forces himself to interact with his mother again. Maybe I'm bitter because I also was abandoned by one of my parents in my childhood and that I would never forgive them for what they've done. But yeah f*ck all this "you need to forgive, that's your parent at the end of the day" bullsh*t.
Finally it's finished. I really hope the side story will be about Antoine finding love, my baby deserves the world. I had enough of Richard and Etienne honestly.
