Seriously...this was the story all along? I mean I guess it works out. But to unfck the story after that many loops and deadends it kinda just fall flat. The fact that it was the dad who was just upset thinking his parents weren't actually proud all along. The parents thinking they did enough praise, was communicating about wants really the "message" here? Idk, after so many weeks just feels like it isn't enough for me to compare to the authors other works.
