No. She wasn’t a good mother. Here’s why:
At first, she never really thought or cared for the real welfare of her son. Now, some people may
find this contradictory, but let’s emphasize in the part where she is being interviewed and was then
asked on why didn’t she sent Jack away and let him live a normal childhood. Now, what she did, if
inspected closely, was not actually a bad choice, if Jack were to go on his own to the world, ‘Room’
would go after him. Stepping on his toes in every way of life, he chose and even more when he
remembered he abandoned his mother. So does that mean that what the mother did was correct?

And the reason why a ‘no’ is specified earlier is because what she did was not a bad choice, or at

She said things like: Why would I do that? Or, He had me. She basically kept him
for herself and never thought of how his life would be outside the room. Now if she were to think
about it, then maybe it could be acceptable, but she didn’t and that just makes her a terrible mother.
So, she did it, she sent Jack in a journey where no one knew how it would end up. She could claim
plan successful and could, return to her normal lifestyle. But how normal was it now? No one in
history has faced such terrible circumstances and get away without a mental disorder, say PTSD
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). So, as it was to be expected, at least for the viewers, Joy did
experience terrible retaliation from herself and the old-yet new-world. She didn’t suffer from PTSD
but rather something that didn’t allowed her to communicate with her new reality. She missed the
strange sense of familiarity that the shed provided them.
Jack’s case was not so different, he liked this new world, but he still couldn’t fully understand it. Her

When Jack is first talking about the ship he explains, “For Jack, the ship is the edge of the world, and it has sat there, on the lip of his knowledge, for as long as he can remember” (535). This is very important to think of when Jack finally goes out to the ship. It is explained that he believed this was the end of the world this was the most he really thought of in the world. When he goes out to the ship this can be seen as him broadening his horizons and learning new things about the world, in other words maturing. He walks to the ship and doesn’t see what he was expecting, “The inside of the ship is black, swollen with dark water.
In this moment Najmah is facing a big conflict. She has just lost her mother and baby brother. She doesn 't know where her older brother and father are either. Najmah is alone. This is PTSD because it shows a change in Najmah’s behavior.

She fully intended to leave her baby behind when she bought a one-way ticket. She had no intentions of coming back. She also attempted to find someone to watch her.

He is in heaven in this family, reminded of the pain of his past family, but able to enjoy pleasure of his present.

His identity, which has switched many times throughout the book, is finally, safely solid. In the arms of his granddaughter, he is

Even at that age Jack felt as if his life is over “The pediatrician smiled like he got off destroying a child’s life…like children frequently went to sleep and woke up monsters who couldn’t keep their damn bodies still” (1). Jack often blames his biological father James Keegan who he inherited his “cursed” genes from, as a person with Tourette’s “Has a 50% chance of passing that disorder to their offspring” (raredieseases.info). Tourette’s is a disorder that is for life and cannot be treated currently and so jack having felt that he will never be accepted is mistrusting of others and
In the middle of her translation, Jack’s brain has almost been unclouded by the mist of his own ignorance to his mother’s love. This circles back to Paulo’s quote “It is not until much later that children understand…” Jack felt this sudden awareness that hit him like a train. His mother did everything she could for him and cherished him deeply, going undetected by Jack

Now while the mother is suffering from some or even all of these problems think about what is happening to the other life inside of her. A baby being born into the world with perhaps some, or all of their mothers and “fathers” mental problems from this event. Not only that but a baby being born, growing up and you the mother, the victim of this event trying to explain to now your biggest responsibility your son or daughter where they came from and where is the one they will give the name “dad” to. You don’t even know this man and he left you alone, mentally unstable, perhaps alcoholic, a drug addict, and a child.
