Was Jax’s mom even that bad? She actually comes to me as one of the most responsible adults in the show to me.
By Jax’s own admission she took care of him, feed him and gave him a home, while his father ran away and abandoned him . She was a single mom that took care of her home. Just that fact already makes her more mature and admirable than most of the cast.
Her two big sins acording to Jax was calling him out when he was acting “not manly enough”, and laughing about his “secret confession.”
If it was a trans confession, she was actually the only one that didn’t cuddle him and affirmed his delusions. I sincerely doubt the same woman that worked her ass off to give him a home, and food meant any long term harm to him.
Worst you could say about her is that she lacked tact but meant well and just wanted hers son to grow to be a healthy adult male. Even Ragatha’s own evil mother sounds far worse than Jax’s.
I don't think she did anything wrong really.
1-It's very clear that jax wore a maid uniform for unknown reasons (femboy onlyfans?) so the dad must've thought his son was a faggot and the mom at least told him to stop doing that gay shit, which is a fair take. Jax very likely wasn't honest about it either so of course his mom would pry him about it.
2-Regardless of what Jax said and how much his mom laughed and insulted him, she hugged him after it so it sounds like she felt bad after and changed her mind. It's not like she started hitting him or kicked him out of home, she still loved him, but Jax pushed her in a fit of rage and knocked her out.
Jax's guilty and tragedy doesn't work if his mom was actually a monster. If she was, it would be so easy for him to deflect blame back to her but he can't and doesn't. He would rather convince himself that none of this circus shit is not real, refuse any chance to leave and push everyone away so he can't hurt another person (unintentionally hurting them more).
I'm not saying his mom was a saint and jax the devil but people who think jax did nothing wrong are obviously wrong as Jax knows he fucked up. It was all a very unfortunate accident and Jax never got the chance to find out the truth unlike leroy did, and considering Leroy looks fine, 99.9% chance his mom is ok too.
I know goose's message here is that
you can't save everyone yadayada, but the funny thing is that, if only Caine resurrected one hour earlier, he probably would've saved Jax by saying his IRL version is fine so he can relax. The movie would end after 5 minutes lol.
