One of my characters, Mallory is a 37-year old mother who is willingly strict with her son, as repulsive as that sounds it turns out she is remorseful over her parenting decisions and her son is deliberately badly behaved (a literally evil boy). I have planned outlines for some sequels, Mallory is the most fleshed out of my characters. She always reaches a point of despair in each book-outline so far; for example, her son goes missing and she goes to look for him. It breaks her (I do this to show her mother-like bond with her son, in the beginning she just thinks he’s a normally badly behaved. Do I need to make this character stronger so that she isn’t defined as sensitive, and put off the reader?
