I just started this and,
Does the MC ever get an apology from the Mom?
3 years no contact. He got fired and had nothing but still couldn't contact or depend on his family.
If he didn't have that key and the Father had lived an extra month or two, it could have been the MC's funeral instead and they wouldn't have even known.
She won't even let him complain about the father, and MC's main thoughts are still about how to make his Mom happier.
Does it only seem this way because I used a patch to change the relationships, or did she really abandon her second choice for three years and then pretend nothing happened as soon as her first choice died?
