It's more complicated than that. You always have to remember that mom is psychiatrist. So she's a doc and there are certain things that involves doctor-patient relationship that she simply can't talk about. So those certain things stay between doc and patient. So even if MC asked mom what's going on, what could mom say?
Even if the mom is under confidentiality, that is only about her patients, she still can talk about the problems she has, what is bothering her etc. If she doesn't use any personal data, which can be used to identify the patient, she can also talk about what is bothering her with her work, really no need to go too deep into the patients history.
I'm more curious why she does take this patient so personal.
I also have this one theory that MC might be adopted. Otherwise what kind of mother would leave her own child or what kind of father would choose money and some company before his own kid.
More than enough of these kind of parents/family/other relatives exists irl.
Honestly i really don't care for the why, the way how the mother left it is unforgivable, just leaving without any notice and never giving a sign of life afterwards.
The only reason which could justify that is if she has been kidnapped, was hold at gunpoint or so and since she has left she is effectifly a hostage...
I really hope we will see her again, just so we can give her a boot in her ass and telling her to fuck off and never come back....but seeing this MC he probably gives himself the blame for everything, seems to be the running theme here...
As for the self centered part:
Sure he is, but than again he was what, 17/18 or so. I think most teens in that age are more focused on themself, school, love life etc. than on their parents problems...probably thought something like, 'ah well probably had a bad day at work' or something like that and if the mother doesn't talk with him how should he know she has trouble sleeping ?
Also as an outsider it is sometimes easier to spot certain things.
I think MC acted pretty normal for his age, how close his gf Naomi is with his mother is more out of the norm.
How Naomi is treating her own adoptive parents is way more shity than what we saw from the MC imo.
But i was honestly surprised that are only 2 episodes are left, it feels like we are just out of the introduction phase.
So many things are hanging in the air, most relationships are just starting not to mention characters like Penny which barely got any attaintion at all in the last episodes...
No idea how the dev plans to solve all of the LI troubles and relationship building in just 2 episodes without it feeling very rushed.
-Naomi no idea, imo she and the MC just don't fit, maybe also knows way more about the mother
-Mira has her newly introduced daddy problems
-Danielle
let just say she would need a lot of time for a serious relationship
-Rose still has her wedding coming up
-Ada....can't remember what is up with her, if it was up to me to decide she would be together with her ex
-No idea what that therapist is up to
-Penny was largely left out for 2 episodes iirc, she lacks extreme in content
-the whole mother thing
-dealing with that fucktard Damon
Just things i remember on top of my head...
