Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Ch. 28 - Clueless person

[Le_beanie420]

This family have different ways of being fucked in the head. No wonder Uichi ended it all in the Og timeline

 

[Akudia94]

Yeah it seems like it was mostly with how the dad was raised.

The whole situation is super fucked. I wonder though, if clover never interfered with the family, would the father be more normal? Probably not but maybe it wouldn't matter at that point.

The father is the one basically allowing the sister to live how she is as well and basically did nothing to help with his wife or daughter or son. I would say that threatning suicide for attention is worse than enabling but it's really all fucked.

And out of the whole family I'd say the mother is the one affecting Uichi's mental state the most with the father and then sister next.

actually, it the father that being enabler and apathetic allowed sister become NEET instead of helping his wife to teach his daughter. the sister being manipulated and cause trouble to mother make mother put blame on herself. and father being useless as emotional support make mother more broken and see Uchi as her only symbol of hope to hold on. Basically Uchi become emotional support for mother because father so useless. mother being affected by father and sister make her have more pressure thus affecting Uchi the most.
but still, if anyone deserve a second chance, it the mother. she just broken woman that have being abandon by her own husband and daughter. the thought of one of her last family member, her son,.Uchi will abandon her too make her become unstable and possessive.

What did my boy Uichi did to deserve all of this torment bruh?

Based off of the context, I believe it all happened once he decided to defend that one other student from the bullies

 

[jesuscristo]

I think the dad is a "pressure cooker." He is suppressing his emotions so much that he is going to explode! It's affecting him mentally, too!

No he's just a sociopath.

 

[Beastkun]

oh god the dad is that type of person..

「Good Father」​

 

[SirAuron]

Thanks for the translation.

Such messed up family...

 

[Hollow7F]

...holy shit...i think of the whole family i hate the dad the most!, at least we know the mom tried, and used to care for the sister and MC, but since then went nuts, so she can get better with proper help, but this POS dad?

nah, hes 100% convinced hes a good father and that everything is alright...while enabling the sister self-destroying behaviour, ignoring the mom screams for help, and ignoring completely the son...
like jesus...

 

[PYGARGUE_SHAREEF]

The father be like :

 

[WalkingTargetPractice]

They need to visit a psychologist to figure out their problems and a therapist to settle them

 

[Aethred]

We've found Yae's real father lmao, the same brand of idiot

 

[Naruto031]

Dude... The mom is innocent in all of this tbh... Y y'all hating on the mom. She's like the only sane person in the family (aside from Uichi I mean)

(I guess the sis too... I think?

 

[_Arc_]

The mother is in the wrong, obviously, for how she treated her son. However I feel the most sympathy towards her because she just seems mentally broken. The daughter has to have a really stupid mentality to think the way they do. Screw this dad, unless its some sort of medical thing.

 

[LordofAlI]

Ok dad just has no brain? wtf

Surely the bum genes are from this guy

 

[Freestyle]

The mum atleast understood him this chapter, why tf did she also turn

 

[AnimuVsMango]

What did I JUST SAY?

So, I guess daddy dearest is basically what would happen if Yae grew up and got married.
Also interesting to see Uichi and his mom's relationship recontextualized, can see more of the toxic dependency now, but it doesn't make it any less ironic considering his sister's.

St. John's Wort is a common herbal alternative to SSRIs. The digestive enzymes also point towards some sort of inflammatory bowel disease, which are commonly comorbid with depression. So it's possible the oral medication is SSRIs, although an overdose on them is relatively safer compared to other drugs.

 

[Koronus]

Ah. . . yes.

The father: Does the phrase 'Toxic Positivity' mean anything to you?

The mother: Turning her literal child into her emotional crutch.

The sister: Convinced she holds no responsibility for her own situation.

I'm concerned by how many forms of abuse/neglect the author's showcased.

Well as a fatherless son with a narcisstic mother, I think this dad would have been an improvement.

 

[Koronus]

The father's got a narcissistic personality.
He says and does things to make himself feel better. Which is expressed in his self validations of "what a good boy am i". In reality he lacks empathy, makes every situation about himself, and shows absolutely no real interest in his family except for those feelings of self validation.


He's absolute garbage.
Just like the others

Eh I grew up with a narcisstic mother. He seems not narrcisstic but an extremely stupid person
