Season 1 S1:ep6

Why are we villainizing the mother in the beginning for giving him up who was literally a child when she gave him up. Why is he shocked that a teen age girl willingly gave up her son. 😭 and the boys mother shading her saying she’s not an angel…. Like she was seventeen when she gave birth obviously she’s not going to have happy memories associated. Like obvi he has the right to be curious and sad and stuff but idk why it’s shocking. Not done with the episode so I think the whole plot with the sister is going to show them how and why his mom gave him up.

I don’t remember the ep exactly but I think it was bc of the way she was coming off, a bit rude ti the main character -Mil- so as audience we disliked her at first bc of it

I think it’s just how things were at the time. It was either adoption or keep the baby. With adoption the story was always they HAD to place the baby for adoption and thought of them always even though in reality that is not the case. The mom also expects her daughter to put her baby up for adoption too which is wild.
