One thing I haven't seen discussed at all (which doesn't surprise me much) is the part where Charles said "My mum was just quiet"

And the part where she sobbed while he was being belted but she also didn't move, and the way the scene finishes strongly implies that Charles had to take care of himself after

And there are many, many, many reasons why she would have done that and she was stuck in a shitty situation regardless of what she did or didn't do

But you cannot show me this and expect me to assume Charles has uncomplicated feelings towards his mum
