The mother was deplorable


As the title says, the mother was a despicable human being also. Obviously the father was a monster, that's a given. Did anyone find it absolutely despicable when the mom was giving her "I'm going to leave you" speech that she wanted to abandon her "rapist son"?

For years the mother continues to do nothing while her children are constantly being physically and mentally harmed/corrupted then when she does finally get the courage to tell her husband it's over she throws her son under the bus? Yes, this kid was quite the little bastard and needed some serious counseling, but the mom had no motherly instinct and had no desire to care for her son.

I'd say that sorry excuse of a mom got what was coming to her.

The son was his father's boy through and through. A sadistic rapist doesn't need mothering, he needs to be locked away.

What a lovely way to burn...

I think the point the OP is making is that the son was still just a kid. If his mother had got him away from his psycho father and got him the right help he still had a chance to grow up and be a decent person.

But no, she decides he's not worth it and opts to abandon him.

I'd love to respond to you but I saw this movie like six months ago barely even remember the plot. I'll just say you're probably right, and let's move on.
