Yup, then she forgot that he wasn't really in love with her, so she stopped giving him the love potions when she got pregnant. He abandoned her and Tom Riddle Jr (not sure if this was before or after he was born).

Shit, if I was Tom Riddle, I'd be pissed off about magic too!

I mean- he's basically a child of magical roofies.

Tom Riddle can't feel love because he was born of a love potion.

... Makes you wonder why they sell them at Weasely's Wizard Wheezes.

That's totally false, I saw that theory in an askreddit thread some time ago and had to find a source, so here Rowling says it was just symbolic (TL;DR: "Ravleen: How much does the fact that Voldemort was conceived under a love potion have to do with his nonability to understand love, is it more symbolic? J.K. Rowling: It was a symbolic way of showing that he came from a loveless union – but of course, everything would have changed if Merope had survived and raised him herself and loved him.").

Wow! Thank you! I'm not sure how I picked that up as canon, but thank you so much for correcting me.

Sorry, /u/Shaysdays!

So what Merope needed was Planned Parenthood?

More like, she needed some crazy suppressing pills.

And a less abusive family environment.

This comment made me think of this commercial that was tailor made for the Wizard Wheezes and how Voldemort must have felt, right down to the disfigurement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MhbULUd-KE

About something that is pretty horrible in application being sold at stores. (And obviously real world applications are not the same as magical charms in books, but the idea is similar.)

Apparently people named Shay like their usernames to rhyme.

He abandoned them before. Merope gave birth to Tom, named him, gave him to the orphanage people, then died all within a day or two.

:(

Well, she forgot or she hoped that he had fallen in love with her in the time they'd been together and she didn't need to give it to him any more

[–]zippityzeepow 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I was always under the impression she hoped that he had grown to love her and stopped giving him the potion, not that she forgot.

I believe it was still before Tom Riddle Jr was born
