[QUOTE="fba827, post: 8218209, member: 807"] 1) if the -players- don’t seem like they’ll put in any effort to this thread beyond just asking the question, then make what you decided all true and simple like that 2) the faeries are nearby? What if the mom is actually a fae in human guise due to magic. Maybe the husband never knew, or found out much after the wedding, or he knew early in the relationship. Each of those has very specific implications on the nature of their arguments. And that would mean the son is half fae yet without any obvious characteristics and might have some minor ability he doesn’t yet know ( or he’s supernaturally been charming people unintentionally yet everyone just thinks he’s an ok and charismatic guy). And how bad is the husband? The mom might be with the family but whose to say the husband hasn’t trapped mom and the family together 3) maybe she has a child from a relationship before dad came around. But gave that child to a church for adoption. The priest gives her word how the child is doing. The arguments started when dad overheard mom and the priest talking one visit. He didn’t like her having a prior child. He made her leave and said if she ever came back he’d kill her and her family for having lied to him so she stays away out of fear 4) the lumberyard had cut down a tree that was bound to a dryad. This dryad turned in to an evil vengeful fairy spirit as a result. Things started going wrong at the house. The husband being busy with the business never paid it much mind but the wife witnessed it all. He thought she’s just gone crazy with talk of haunting in the house. She eventually left on a long journey to understand how to appease the evil spirit. She didn’t want people to know as it might affect the son and so it was easier to tell the son that ‘mom is going back to stay with family. ‘ 5) mom realized she was pregnant....and the child wasn’t the dad’s. She had to leave before she began to ‘show’ and is raising the baby with her family. She hasn’t returned because the dad said he’d kill their son if she ever came back ( he was hurt/betrayed and vengeful and so this threat was the one he knew that she would take seriously). No good mother just leaves the first son though, she has found some way to check on him from a distance ( ok just rambling as I’m tired. Maybe not great ideas but maybe something there might spark a better idea) [/QUOTE]
