The drama I watched for Benny's sake was beautiful, but also very sad.
The most distressing of them is not only the atrocities committed by the father against Patrick, but also the mother's ignorance. His mother, who was Patrick's only hope, made him despair.
Years later, I finally found the courage to confess my father's atrocities to my mother, Patrick, but the response I got was a sentence from my mother, "Me too." My tears flowed instantly, and my heart, like Patrick, was cold to the bottom. I'm afraid I don't know whether to hate his father more or hate his mother more. Faced with Patrick's nervous expression, how did she say "me too" indifferently?
Patrick broke down in tears at his mother's funeral. Is he really sad about his mother's death? No, he is the pain that his mother didn't even care about the hurt he had suffered until he died.
Fortunately, Patrick never gave up on self-redemption.
