ive said on a previous chapter that i hope the boys can think of a way to deal with him secretly and spare the mom finding out, as she's also being deceived by this monster. but now, after reading this chapter i feel like she needs a reality check and respect her daughters intelligence more. the thing is that their relationship is so fractured as it is i worry that this is just gonna put the mom into self loathing mode and lead to more abandonment and neglect. just a horrible situation.
