Sorry but no.
First, sorry about your experience. Really.
Second, she HIRED MC to do exactly what he did. What was she expecting? MC would protect her daughter with nice words and gentle ideas?
Moreover, this wasn't an 11 years old seeing the police attacking low lifes. This was PRECISELY a woman that has been attacked several times seeing someone she knows with a knife in her daughter's neck. She more than most knew how devastating and dangerous those assholes can be.
MC risks himself for them, physically hurting and attacking a corrupt police officer. His own life on the line here.
And her fucking response is "how can I trust him again?" For the 3rd or 4th time?
I could understand violence could traumatize her, but trusting MC should totally be out of the question by now. This shouldn't make her doubt. On the contrary, she should know this guy would go to the extreme xonsequences for to protect Emma.
So yeah. She doubting MC is absoluyely pure crap.
She didn't hire MC to kill people lol. SHe hired him to protect. Protect and killing are 2 different things. The police job is to protect people. Are you telling me that once they got someone immobilized they should then kill that person? If the police whose job is worse than a private bodyguard and they are trained to restrain but not kill why would a bodyguard job be killing someone? This is an outragerous mindset lol.
Second. Emma was a girl who lived her life from school to house and house to school and always accompanied by someone. She didn't have a social life, and we as humans, need to socialize to develop ourselves. That is why even if she is 18yo, since from the start of the LN she acts as a child. I am pretty sure when I was 11, I had more maturity that she did. I already know how to cook at that age. I'd do my laundry and other house stuff. And sometimes help my mother with her work.
As much as me almost everyone were more mature on their teenage years, probably most of us in this forum, than she is at the age of 18. But yet, I am pretty sure, if she saw something like that it would be even more traumatizing than it already was.
If you were not a victim of abuse you shouldn't talk on their behalf. No person who was abused wants someone to die or want to hurt others. Ofc They want the people who are abusers to pay for what they did, but they don't want to take their life or see them dying only because of it. They will defend themselves or act in their self defense if they can, but that is it.
You out here saying that "it is PRECISELY because she was abused" that she should understand or desire that is really strong. If you think that way you should look for professional help. And any person abused, who are damaged and think from now one that killing is the way, should look for professional help as well.
MC Had the means to restrain Carter and call the FBI agent to deal with the situation. He took the decision of taking that man's life without a second thought, that doesn't mean she should accept it.
And again the question "how could I trust him again?".
So you are telling me that if it was you, who were on MC's shoes, dealing with a woman who hired you and suffered abused and had trusted issues, you wouldn't accept her not being able to fully trust you, because you think you have done your job well enough that she should start seeing you otherwise?
Every person is different, some people who suffered from abuse may trust the next guy they meet. And some will probably never fully trust someone ever again. And everything they do, like killing another human being, will be seen as a reason to not fully trust someone. I don't think she is wrong in not trusting him and if MC is really a nice guy, a saint of a man, he will be patient with her. Because that is what a person who put themselves on other people shoes would act. And if at some point it is too much for him to handle, he can just step away.
You probably think she should be jumping on MCs dick right now only because he is doing his job as a payment, what really shows how men think. Always with their dicks.
