Now that I am a mom I can't help but hate Asterid
I am re-reading the books now. I read it at first as a tween and now again, as an adult with kids. What the actual hell is wrong with her?? She abandoned her babies!! I get that she was depressed but Katniss and Prim almost starved to death!!! Katniss even mentioned that she would have turned into prostitution.
And then I mockinjay she doesn't even go back home to help Katniss. I mean, I get it, her husband died, Prim died, she saw the destruction of district 12. But katniss had the whole world in to hold in her shoulders. Katniss was the one that provided for them. Katniss suffered from the games twice. And I know Katniss would push her away so she probably learned not to ask much, but oh my God, she would barely enquire with katniss about what was going on in her life. Gale's mom was pregnant, gave birth, and went out and looked for work to provide for her kids. I just can't seem to find an excuse for Asterid. I can't imagine abandoning my kids like that.
