the mom is so cartoonishly evil I couldn't take their conversation seriously, but ngl, I kind of get where she's coming from, in the sense that her behavior seems to stem from maladaptative coping mechanisms due to trauma
sometimes people have to blame "things" so they can move on, even if they know deep inside that it's stupid
idk
to be fair, I don't think you portray her as "wrong" or anything, which is a good thing
it's just that the dialogue was so on the nose compared to the backstory that it detracted from rather than complimented the chapter imo
I'm looking forward to see how their relationship mends though c: it's the small 'character' moments I like the most
