Are that actually gonna go after a fucking CHILD??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOURSELF TALK???? Bro no shit she doesn't know anything its bc she literally a CHILD!!1!
omfg love is out of her fucking mind....
also in this case isn't the mc unhappiness because of her mother? she's the one who abandoned her own daughter....Like ik the process started w the dad but after him leaving her, it was all the mothers doing.....

Awman, don’t ruin Hyejoo’s childhood. It’s not her responsibility.
Everything that went wrong was due to the missteps of the adults. Like, afaik...
1) Eunjo’s mom: expected her dad (DJ) to always being willing to accommodate her. She expected him to fulfill her every request. She wanted Eunjo’s dad to take more of an interest in their child’s activities & upbringing
2) Eunjo’s dad: started feeling taken for granted & exploited. He was stretched thin feeling “put to work” both in & out of the home. He wanted space & time for himself. For some reason, whether because he was scared or felt it wasn’t worth the trouble, he didn’t confront his wife about his stressors. & she was too wrapped up in her happiness with her daughter/idealized Happy Family to see any differently.
...This could have been resolved if they had communicated. Or if they had wanted to resolve the situation. But instead...
3) Eunjo’s dad: ran away. Said he wanted a “break” & left his wife to raise their child alone for two years. For two whole years, he didn’t have contact with his wife or his toddler.
(Imo, cutting off contact & taking “breaks” with your significant other is fine only when you don’t have another human being depending on you both. You can cut off contact with each other, but you shouldn’t “cut off” or try to “take a break” with your child. That’s so f***ing irresponsible. A kid can’t consent or understand the concept of “taking a break” — Eunjo’s dad abandoned her even before the affair.)
4) Eunjo’s mom: fooled herself into believing the dad would come back. Was devastated & fell into depression when he only came back to ask for a divorce.
& finally...
5) Eunjo’s dad: shows up after 2 yrs to say he wants a divorce so he can add Hyejoo (his new child) to his family register. Apparently met another woman & had a child with her in the 2 yrs away. Makes no mention of Eunjo; as far as we know, he doesn’t care what happens to her.
6) Eunjo’s mom: stops functioning as a responsible adult. Essentially abandons Eunjo by no longer being her caretaker, much less her mother. Then scars her small child, Eunjo, with delusions, & misplaced blame.
...I don’t think you can say either Eunjo’s mom or dad were solely to blame. But I do think biases re: women & their “natural maternal instinct” tinges a lot of the judgments on Eunjo’s mom, & how her personal failures absolve Eunjo’s dad of the harm his actions wrought. So. Ugh.
Anywho. Hope Eunjo’s dad & mom both get a come-to-jesus moment, forcing them to acknowledge how they f***ed up. Even if they don’t apologize. 🥲
