If she talks to him without lying for evena second she could've avoided the misfortunes and hardship she's gone through ,her son would've been raised with both parents. Being a single parent is better than having a partner who only makes youand your child suffer but ML is someone responsible and you saw it first hand. She got easily manipulated and run away instead even after meeting ML again she lied! even her son knows something was wrong yet just keep understanding his mother at a young age. I feel really bad for him.
