I have to say, reading all of your comments about CT makes me laugh. It's clear - everyone hates her (and for good reason)!
I agree with you @themarchioness that CT lashing out after her accident is somewhat normal and expected of someone who underwent a traumatic experience and is suffering a major physical injury.
I think the reason why we all do not feel any sympathy for her is because she wasn't any better prior to the accident. I would have liked to believe that the death of her child was what caused her to turn bad but knowing that she left them alone to play mahjong... well, how do I even excuse that? And instead of reflecting on herself and her shortcomings, she pushed the blame on LX. As a mother myself, I would always put my child's feelings and interests ahead of my own. What a good mother would have done was to reassure LX that it was not his fault and reinforce that with extra attention, love and support. Instead CT behaved the opposite of that and eventually abandoning him. TBH, the only reason LX was able to endure was because of JJ and Haichao who stepped in and took the initiative.
Time and again, CT has behaved in a very selfish manner, always putting her feelings and her needs ahead of her children. Even with the toast/speech she gave during LX's birthday.. you can totally see her intent in that she seemingly praised Haichao but in reality she was defining a line, making it clear to everyone that LX is her family and that JJ and Haichao are just friendly neighbours.
I think the drama is making such a good contrast between CT and He Mei - both abandoned their sons (for different reasons) and both are indebted to the Li Family. Yet, CT and HM are behaving very differently. HM is choosing to stay away out of shame while CT is pushing herself in. HM has asked nothing from ZQ while CT is very demanding.
Like @themarchioness, I am also hoping for some sort of healing for LX. I just don't know which route the drama is going to take us. I think it can go either way - CT might realize her faults and actually do something selfless for LX or LX might just decide to cut off CT altogether. I think both can be considered good for LX. Relationships are complicated - especially when it comes to family. The definition of what family is, the different relationships between parents and children.. all of this is explored in this drama. And unfortunately, some families cannot be mended no matter how much we want it.
