Hmm, well he's trying to move on from all this, but it also feels like he's heading in a wrong direction. That could be just the framing making him look demented, but it seems like things are only going to get worse before they get better.
I can totally understand Seichi wanting to have nothing to do with his mom holy shit she abused and completely viewed him with absolute nothingness for his entire life. Moving on and never speaking or seeing his mother and being absolutely find while trying to move on with his fight is a good first start. It annoys me to no end when complete strangers preach about forgiving family and trying to reestablish bonds with them after they screwed you over again and again. Sometimes it is best to cut people out of your life for good than trying to break bread with, better for you to move on for sunny days alone than with snakes and wasps, but knowing this author its only the start for more fuckery to come.
I can feel how fragile his being okay is. He's one step away from a total relapse.
@catbot158 The tone and framing is always important in this series so you bet there is going to be problems. He's kind of too desperate about it to be actually okay.
I think she's saying he has to properly get her out of his life, take ahold of his own life & choices. Just pretending she doesn't exist and jumping straight into this relationship isnt going to help heal his wounds.
He should be in therapy to understand how she maniuplated him and what he's vulnerable to so it cant happen easily again. We tend to run to what's familiar and him being her son means he was molded by that experience and not so easy to cut off
I think he's never going to see a happy ending until he actually confronts his mother. Excising a tumour is one thing, and driving it out of the bone marrow is another. He's kind of dodging the issue by doing this, though I guess he can build up his mental fortitude in the meantime.
