So this has been in my ask box for a while because I wasn’t sure how I wanted to answer it.

In my portrayals I usually allude to the fact that his relationship with his mom is a little off but never really dug that deep into what I wanted between them.

I suppose I wanted to have an excuse to see someone struggling in a similar vein a lot of people like Jimmy usually go through. You live a decent life with a decent family yet there’s still something wrong with you- only I wanted to give little hints that maybe there were cracks in his past that he never recovered from. Maybe he’s had a few too many fights with his mom about the way he is, maybe she was some what distant because she didn’t like what he was becoming, or what she made. I wanted it to be interpreted personally, basically show the little moments between them where they interact and you have to put it together based of their depictions.

Pretty much the relationship between Jimmy and his mom was to show that sometimes people set boundaries with you and you have to learn how to accept it, even if it’s your family.

Anywhoo thanks for asking, I kept coming to this now and then, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to respond with art or not but it’s a really good question that got me thinking a little harder about it.
