![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t find Ute all that aloof, though just a different kind of parent than I would be, maybe. So unless Ute knew how terrifyingly unstable he was before she left (and I didn’t get that feeling), no. No matter what happens, normal people do not react by kidnapping, isolating, and raping their child. No way, no blame on the mother from me! James alone is responsible for his disgusting, horrific behavior. He was lazy, should not have been a father, and had delusions about being a survivalist. Men are fools anyway, but YOUNG men?! They’re more immature to begin with and when you pile on marriage and fatherhood? Kaboom! I didn’t like him at all but probably for those reasons. Also, not to be forgotten-they got married when he was 17 and she was 25. Of course, there is the fact that being a concert pianist is ALL she knew. I agree about the mother- felt she was stereotypically Germanic-brusque, no affection. She’s so aloof-she basically leaves her daughter and husband without saying goodbye to go on tour-I’m not one to begrudge a woman her career, but I didn’t like her. But at the same time I think that Peggy’s mother deserves a little of the blame in what happened to her daughter. The knee-jerk reaction that I had was to write the dad off as a complete nut-job, also as a terrible person. ![]()
