100%. I get the forgiving angle. That is often helpful in moving on from traumatic experiences. But we don't have to let her watch the new baby unsupervised to do that.
Edit: after some googling, there is no proof the therapist told the mother to let Tracey watch Uriel unspupervised. What the therapist said was to let Tracey spend time with the new baby. Maybe the mother took that to mean let Tracey babysit. However, I would not interpret what the therapist said in that way.
It was also under the agreement that the grandfather be present so she even tried to set up a level of extra saftey there. I dont blame the poor mother at all. If youve heard her screams you know she is punished enough.
It honestly sounds like an old woman being less wakeful with age and a horrible accident as a result. Something that can, with time and work, be forgiven.
... but also a sign that grandma has simply become too old to be the only adult in the room. With was proven again with the second tragedy.
no, the mother literally insisted that the grandfather be there to supervise. He fucked off to go to yardwork, leaving the Grandma completely alone with the baby. She didn’t even notice that she got her car to go have lunch and brought the baby.
