It is implied that Isaac and Laura bonded over their terrifying experiences. And Laura was able to find the deep well of strength she needed to help Isaac and become his mother. Instead he was torn apart by a person who took advantage of his grief. Isaac appears to have grown into a young man carrying the scars of his experiences. But don't let it destroy or define him. The significance of the creature's skeleton fits the film's contemplation of great grief. It never really goes away. But as time passed Its influence on a person's life may decrease. Help Isaac see the monster for what it really is. Not his father like he had hoped. Rather, it is a faceless creature that attempts to adopt his appearance for its own purposes.
