Animal product in the same way milk and eggs are.

Both of them became much more likable.

I lost whatever sympathy I had for him with the preview for next week where he picks up the dog on his way out the door. No matter what happened between the two of them, that is clearly Danielle’s dog and trying to take him is something only a truly rotten person would do.

SHE doesn’t respect her grandparents! Her form of respect is telling Brandan they can’t kiss because Lolo wouldn’t like it and then immediately kissing on camera.

What we’re learning is that a large percentage of the world population is absolute trash.

She insisted on being on video call when he visited his family. That’s batshit crazy behavior. It’s not going to get better without serious professional intervention.

You have to send this to them!!!

Yup. There are some great men out there but also such a huge population of whiny, fragile, childish men… I can understand the urge to overlook things but suddenly you’re overlooking way too much. It’s entirely possible that the population of women is the same, but since I never dated a women I don’t know.

I’m sorry this happened to your family. And I agree, logic can’t erase the pain.

Not trying to minimize the effect of the mom’s addiction on Brandan, but it’s considered a medical condition. He traded a decent life with a future to go live in abject poverty with a toxic relationship in a country where he doesn’t even speak the language and then got her pregnant, so he’s now tied to this for life. It’s sad all around.
I think your analysis of why he’s like that is probably correct.

Splitting up from Mary is a different thing from abandoning his kid. Many people are divorced and coparent. It’s considered healthier than modeling a toxic relationship for the kid.

Really? I feel like I may have missed something. She’s negative about Mary, which she should be. I’ve read that she’s racist, which is always shitty. Is there more?

Just no. Every single thing you said is f’ed up.

I disagree somewhat that she can’t start trying to mother him now. She will always be his mother and she’d be doing him a HUGE favor if she got him away from Mary.
