Dude, even after all else, she’s still your mother. You don’t have to become a vampire but at least don’t abandon your own mother. She said everyone she kills is a bad person anyways! At least hear her out, man…

I’ve thought about it. She is still my mom, and I do still love her. She raised me all by herself. But standing there in the hallway that night, seeing her covered in blood… that image has haunted me for years. I know that ultimately she wants me to become that. And that terrifies me. Maybe some day I’ll have the courage to talk to her again. But not yet…

Honestly, the fact that she's his mother isn't an argument. The fact that someone is blood related will never be an argument.

It’s not just the blood related part, she raised him and cared about him and loved him.

And so...? At the end, he doesn't owe her...? Well, I mean it would be really unfair to hate her for no reason - It's not the fault of his mom he lived under her shadow -, but he's hanging from a thread that she can easily break at any moment.

This. That argument is a toxic weapon used against people with abusive parents. It needs to stop being used as justification for anything.
