Or a close encounter with a bus.

She's Marten's MOM, she wouldn't bear him any ill will. Excessive vilification not necessary (not that either of you is there yet, but in a "just in case" sort of way).
However, either she is not particularly adept at support, likes messing with his mind in what seems to us to be a cruel way, or is perhaps utilizing a previously-tried-and-true method for getting him over breakups, as someone's already said at some point here.

In terms of humans, simply being someone's mother isn't an indicator that someone is a good mom. I've certainly seen enough that if she doesn't bear him "ill will", she certainly does seem to be doing quite a bit to knock him down. Considering he's already been knocked down, it seems like her behavior is pretty Dora-like, from my perspective.

I've actually had a bit of an epiphany just now.
What if Veronica is actually trying to annoy and alienate Marten a bit, so that when she LEAVES he's happy and more independent?
Even if that's not the plan, it'll be the end effect, I think. Of course, I think that Marten needs to hang out a bit with his real friends, like Steve and Faye, after this.

I'm honestly surprised that you felt I was making personal attacks, and mildly amused. I was not. Was I being dismissive and pointing out that I thought the post quoted was an excellent example of overwrought blubbering over the fate of Poor Poor Marten? Almost certainly! I'm sorry if that offends.
That being said, you have some pro self-righteousness and assumptions going on in your post, and I'm trying to gauge whether you mean them sincerely or are just trolling me. If you mean them sincerely, may I say that I think you are overinterpreting to the nth degree, and maybe need to calm down and recall what you're reading and that maybe you're projecting? If you are trolling, well, you win! The prize is my fleeting attention. Bask in it!
Okay we're done.

Eh, I consider Hannelore a real friend too, but she's likely either too intimidated by Martens mother to say anything or just unsure of what to do. Hannelore actually actively tried to help him out after this which I would say would merit her position as real friend.
