Mothers

It was interesting to see the mother's point of view as to why she left, or maybe that's not the right way of putting it. The mother was stuck in a rut for 35 years and decided to leave, with no intention of going back even though her youngest was still in middle school. She doesn't regret her decision, so it's not really her point of view but her perspective, it's black and white to her, if she stayed she would never be able to accomplish her dreams. The family's reaction to this was interesting. The father reopened his coffee shop, and the brothers are getting used to the idea that they are on their own now. I still am not sure if I can relate to Yuriko and her decision to stick it out, but we'll see, she (and the family) might still grow on me.
