Clearly their relationship deteriorated once BJ started his lecturing gig and Hollyhock found out about New Mexico (nail in the coffin being the televised interviews). However I can’t help that feel that Hollyhock has some of the same character flaws as BJ, and despite his major issues , he’s still family. In that sense maybe BJ would get her in a way others wouldn’t. I kind of hope that in the long run BJ gets his shit together and they can form a healthy relationship.
Yes I think so. Relationships change and morph. Both of them are very relational. They are brother and sister and clearly have a love for each other.
She had already gone into low contact with him but mostly because she didn’t need him - She had found what she set out for when she originally reached out, and now she was having fun at college and busy with other things. She didn’t even show up for something really important to him on campus. Teens/young adults are self absorbed like that. And the last thing they want is to be embarrassed by a family member with friends at one of their parties. She is in a time in her life that she doesn’t need him but she’s not cruel and she’ll come back around in the future.
