They need to get Jovi help! He wakes up, takes a sip of alcohol because he “thought it was juice”.
Gwen, Yara, whomever else there is needs to talk about his drinking and he needs help. Alcoholism does not get better. The fact he’s drinking when he wakes up??
Most people would go for water if they’re hungover. An alcoholic would go for the alcohol. Especially when their body starts to become dependent on it physically. He needs help.
I wish they wouldn’t tip toe around this. You see Yara bring it up briefly here & there, but it’s always dropped.
That’s my 2 cents.
Alcoholism and a strip club addiction. It kind of says something about Gwen’s parenting that he was able to sneak out several times at the age of 16 and get into the strip club unnoticed. Yet she continues to enable him and gang up on Yara. He does not want to grow up and be a responsible father and husband. He refuses to take the desk job because it’s “not fun” compared to going in a submarine 3 months at a time. He’s gaslighting Yara constantly, making her feel insecure about her looks, and just overall not taking her feelings into consideration.
I feel like Gwen actually does call Jovi out on his bs. Maybe I missed something, but I feel like she calls out Jovi when necessary & she calls out Yara when necessary.
As far as her parenting: my mom was basically a helicopter mom, but I still figured ways to sneak out as a kid. I’d go to my best friend’s house to sleep over. Her mom didn’t pay attention very well.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a parenting issue. Teens rebel.
