We see Oliver, and even the people around Oliver, from an omniscient perspective. No one is a saint unless he is dead. When a person dies, we start to miss him, and what we think of may be his good. I just started getting to know the people in the show, Oliver, Henry and Chris, etc., everyone has their own personality flaws, not people who can handle family relations. As a middle school teacher, she couldn't teach her son well. She lived with her husband for 40 years, but she didn't fully understand her husband's feelings for her. Henri made a lot of effort to express her feelings for her wedding anniversary chocolates and flowers. Love. Oliver doesn't understand? No, she really doesn't understand Henry's expression, but two people have been together for 40 years, Henry knows a lot about him, especially when his son left and both of them retired at home, he understood more and more the meaning of marriage and life . I myself didn't understand why relatives were at odds with each other, but they lived together for decades. I still don't understand it now, but it's gradually accepted that we are ourselves, we communicate with others in our own way, I have no ill will, but we can't feel each other's love. Maybe for a lifetime or never.
Oliver left and remembered how perfect his husband was, and at the end of his life began to realize that maybe he was really wrong. I think there will be no shortage of such relationships in life, and no one here is perfect. Chris hated his mother so much that he never beat and scolded him so badly that Oliver couldn't remember. Maybe in another 10 years and 25 years, when Chris himself gets along with his children again, he will change his attitude towards Oliver. Maybe really, after Oliver left, he would only breathe a sigh of relief, not to blame anyone for not being like this.
