Harvey and his mother issue, 6x12, I am not over this.
Since I’ve seen this episode I think about this Harvey and Lily (child-mother) relationship all the time . I haven’t been able to watch any further episodes because Harvey’s mother topic still doesn’t end up for me. I need to get this off my chest.
Bear with me or scroll on, but I have to express my thoughts. Because after I saw this “Harvey-forgives-his-mother” episode I felt as if I was standing on the edge of an abyss. And I got angry!
There are too many mixed layers. On top of that the “mother topic” is handled like a sacred cow and you do not mess with that. There is this unwritten rule, where no one is allowed to say bad things about mothers, specially not on a TV show.
To tag a mother as not caring or (Heaven forbid!) abusive is as equal as to point out that the earth is flat. This means if you want to deal with that matter it needs bravery. This here is for Harvey. I am brave for him, so I just get it over with.
This is my very own opinion. I don’t want to step on any toes.
