I'm sorry, I'm not giving her a pass because she was young. You want to know why, because there was always the option of waiting to have children, but Vicente didn't choose to come into the world. He couldn't go back in the womb and come out when she was ready. Yeah, young mothers make mistakes, but she left a sick child to go party? Nope, nope, no. Your child sees you as a parent whether you are a child yourself or not. The fact that you took your anger out on a child... Nope.
Harsen was hypocritical, but not wrong. After years of not giving a damn about your child, you can't wake up and now expect to have a say in a child you neglected. How can it be trusted not to be a whim?
Harsen isn't any better, don't get me wrong. Instead of offering the options of waiting before they had children, to grow into their marriage, he got her pregnant. Instead of confronting her about her neglect of their child, he allowed her to do whatever and now uses those flaws to throw back in her face in an argument? You don't have a leg to stand on. Even if arranged marriage is a thing, how in the hell can you marry your son off to a psychopath? Shouldn't you vet the girl.
Vicente. Leave you parents and run. They both idiots.
