I read everything written by this respected author several times. Because of this chapter, I am particularly emotional, to say the least, upset. It was right here that I jumped into the train called 'Cap saga' (and not at the beginning of the story, which would be normal, wanting to check after a few random paragraphs if I would like it), I jumped in like into cold water not knowing what to expect. Now I know, after all the stories I've read, that every time 'it gets worse before it gets better.'
Ch 31 My view -- internal title "Alone in the House": a young smart aleck, only positive connotation, indisputably well-mannered, appropriately educated and intellectually curious, taught to enjoy sports and social relationships in precise proportion but without calculation, extremely emotional and prone to react at first impulse and provoke conflicts when he wants to solve something, and to lead discussions as long as his word is final, but, but, but...
Hurt by those closest to him, abandoned by those who are obliged to watch him every day (at that time I didn't know what he had already survived), who by the definition of parenthood are required to give him unconditional love, not to condition their love for the child on a change in the child's behavior, teenagers change at their own pace, yet they must adapt themselves no matter how difficult it is. A family that has several psycho-counselors in different cities should include them in joint sessions when it comes to a son who is an exact replica of his father, and not only when it comes to a life partner, and not hire a psycho-sergaent to terrorize and abuse the child left to his mercy.
Fortunately, the young hero has the wisdom and strength to resist.
I apologize for the possible confusion – I am using Bing Translate. I will contact you just one more time and that will be after Ch 83? - even greater terror
